Only a few spots left! Join @krlederer for a virtual workshop in Pochoir, no press needed! This printmaking technique involves stippling paint through homemade stencils onto paper, creating a print with a distinct velvety texture and luminous color. If you're looking for an easy way to print from home with no hefty machinery or tough clean-up, sign up today through the link in our bio!

Now accepting applications! Deadline is September

Now accepting applications! Deadline is September 1st at midnight EST. The Studio Residency Grant is a six- to eight-week residency for artists to create new work in any of our studio disciplines: intaglio, letterpress, papermaking, screenprinting, photography, or ceramics. WSW invites applications from artists at any stage in their careers.

This grant includes a stipend of $350/week, up to $500 for materials used during the residency, up to $250 for travel within the Continental US, free onsite housing, and 24/7 studio access. WSW can also provide technical advice and production assistance. Link to apply in our bio!

We are committed to the ongoing work it will take to expose and dismantle white supremacy and a culture of whiteness in our office and in our studio. It is critical that Women’s Studio Workshop be a safe space for bold artistic expression. We are looking deeply at the hierarchies of power within print, paper, ceramics and book art practices, as well as artist residency programs, archives, and artist’s book publication.

We invite Women's Studio Workshop alumnx, including former and current artists in residence, interns, instructors, staff, board, and volunteers to participate in a conversation centered on race and equity in our field. We call this community forum in an effort to share and collaborate on the cultivation and expression of our core values moving forward, and express changes we have made at WSW since our leadership transition in 2017. WSW alumnx can see this meeting as a starting point, a support system, a place to commit to change and expect accountability.

This forum will take place Tuesday June 30th at 7PM EST via Zoom. It will include three parts, beginning with an introduction by Artistic Director Erin Zona. Participants will then be divided (by the zoom algorithm) into break-out sessions in which individuals will pose/answer questions. The final section of the meeting will be a reporting session in which all groups will present. Art will be shared and action items will be set.

This time last year, we were cleaning up the stud

This time last year, we were cleaning up the studios in preparation of the beginning of our SAI season! Even though we miss being in the studios with you all, we've developed 3 new virtual workshops so you can still learn a new skill and connect with other artists, all from the comfort of your own home! Learn Pochoir with Karen Lederer July 13-22, or Experimental Screenprinting with Tyanna Buie August 7-19. And back for a second session is Sketchbook Practice with Eleanor Anderson August 4-20! Check out the full descriptions and sign up today through the link in our bio!

“This week, we welcome artist, activist, curator, teacher, and trailblazer Howardena Pindell to our virtual stage. From her landmark 1980 video “Free, White and 21,” a performance for film based on her personal experiences of racism, to her unflinching take on pressing social issues—including war, apartheid, poverty, and systemic discrimination—Pindell has explored the intersection of art and activism for more than five decades.

We invite you to a conversation between Pindell and students from our graduating class of curatorial interns who have just received degrees of their own: Sherman H. Starr Family Curatorial Interns Hannah Kressel and Emma Peters. Pindell and our freshly minted 2020 graduates will be joined by Caitlin Julia Rubin, Assistant Curator.

The conversation will be hosted online via Zoom Webinar. Please RSVP to receive login credentials. Link in bio.”

Women's Studio Workshop stands in solidarity with

Women's Studio Workshop stands in solidarity with Black Lives Matter and those protesting the grave injustices perpetrated against communities of color. We support all who work to deconstruct systemic racism and fight police brutality towards Black Americans. We recognize that this statement must be backed with action and commit to dismantling systems of oppression that exist within our organization and our field.

We’ve added just a few resources that could use your support during this time to our highlights. We love you, and we support you.

Zoom is voyeuristic--these days we are getting a glimpse into our friends' and colleagues' spaces like never before! Inspired by the nature of these intimate encounters, we are hosting a series of virtual special collections tours where we dive deep into the home collections of artists, curators, and independent collectors who we know and love. Our first event will be with renowned artist's book scholar Johanna Drucker on June 4th! Reserve your spot through the link in our bio
