As Spudnik Press continues its work towards an equitable arts organization and its commitment to ensuring that the rich tradition of printmaking remains accessible to diverse communities, we are excited to invite Chicago-based organizations to apply for one of our subsidized printmaking workshops at our studio.
This summer, we are offering 2 fully-funded workshops to 2 local organizations who are interested in a creative workshop at Spudnik Press for their community members.
About the Program:
Launched in 2024, the Subsidized Workshop Program aims to provide organizations with the opportunity to explore the art of printmaking in a supportive and creative environment. Each workshop will be taught by a resident Teaching Artist at Spudnik Press and participating organizations may choose from an array of printmaking topics or techniques.
Workshop Options:
- 1-Day Drypoint Printing
- 1-Day Block Printing
- 1-Day Screenprinting on Paper
- 1-Day Monotype 101
- 1-Day Letterpress DIY Postcards
Application Period: May 1 – May 30, 2025
How to Apply:
Interested organizations are invited to submit their applications through this form.
We are kindly requesting the following details on your application:

This initiative aims to support and engage Chicago’s vibrant community organizations in the art of printmaking. We encourage organizations of all sizes and missions to apply.
Two organizations will be notified on or before June 13, 2025.
Workshop Schedule:
The recipient organizations will have the opportunity to schedule their free workshops between August 1 through September 30. Spudnik Press will work with the organizations to determine the most suitable workshop date and time.
