Artists interested in the PigPrints residency should visit the website for current call details. Applications typically require a project proposal that outlines how printmaking will advance your practice, a selection of recent work, and a CV. It is advisable to demonstrate familiarity with at least one printmaking technique, though beginners are considered if their proposal shows clear intent. The selection committee values experimentation and a willingness to engage with the medium's materiality. Ensure your application reflects a genuine interest in the residency's focus on process over product.
