Conditions

Visiting Artists are expected to engage regularly with our community of studio renters, artists and SNAP patrons through attendance at Open Studio drop-in sessions (5 hours every 2 weeks), informal critiques with emerging artists and others, attendance at exhibition openings and other events happening throughout the artist’s stay. Furthermore, Visiting Artists will be expected to become members of the Society of Northern Alberta Print-Artists covering the duration of their residency term and sign the standard SNAP Printshop rental agreement outlining terms of use and liability. One print or artist proof from each edition printed during the residency must be provided to SNAP for retention in the print archive. One (or more) print(s) will be donated to SNAP to be sold for fundraising purposes.
