A school residency is a unique opportunity for graduate art schools to work on a contemporary print-related project. In the professional printmaking workshop of Frans Masereel Centrum, students can develop and realize a project within the international context of a residency centre. During the school residencies the Frans Masereel Centrum organizes events and print related artist talks for the resident students. Any graduate art school with a master degree program in art can apply for a one- or two-week residency between February 21, 2014 and April 4, 2014. We encourage graduate schools to collaborate and to apply for a joint project. We hope to welcome you in our centre.
