Visiting Artist Residency

Our Visiting Artist Residency provides artists with free access to Studio Two Three to create work in screen printing, letterpress, risography, monoprinting, and black and white photography.

Artist residents have 24/7 access to our community print shop and must be self-directed in their work. Artists should plan on providing their own ink, paper, emulsion, and plates. Artists outside of Richmond are encouraged to apply, but must make their own arrangements for housing during their residency. This is a self-directed residency for artists experienced in print media. Artists looking for technical support can schedule one-on-one workshops with Studio Two Three instructors at a rate of $30/hour.

Participating artists are asked to contribute a print to Studio Two Three for our archive and/or fundraising purposes.

To be considered for a residency, please complete the application form below. Applications are processed on a rolling basis.

For As Long As Such Images Are Needed (2020)

Studio Two Three and the Institute for Contemporary Art at Virginia Commonwealth University (ICA) partnered on a micro-residency and exhibition program highlighting community-engaged and responsive works of artists during the COVID-19 pandemic and Movement for Black Lives. We provided resident artists with a safe work space, technical support, and resources to produce work in printmaking and photography. Each artist received a stipend, use of a private studio space, food for the week courtesy of Soul N’ Vinegar. The completed artist works were installed and exhibited in the windows of the ICA building at Broad & Belvidere in downtown Richmond. Selections from the produced artworks and installation materials will also be archived by The Valentine Museum for future exhibition and reference.
