    Scuola Full Fellowship Application
    Apply now through September 30, 2024
    Applicants will be notified by October 15, 2024
  • This will be the eighth year that BP members have been awarded Fellowships at Scuola, so if you have questions we can connect you to a former fellow. Please contact renee@bostonprintmakers.org.
  • Each year one BP member is selected for a full fellowship.
  • The 2025 dates are September 1 – 30, 2025. The BP Visiting Guest Artist will receive keys and full access to the studios, 7 days a week. The BP Visiting Guest Artist Fellow is paired with an artist from the Royal Society of Painter Printmakers (RE) and an exhibition of the two selected artists is held at the Scuola Grafica gallery.
  • Note: There are changes this year to the housing component of the application process for the 2025 Scuola Venice Fellowship.
  • For the past seven years the DeCastro-Dolcetti family has provided housing for the Annual Visiting Guest Artist Fellowships and beginning in 2025, this will not continue. The Boston Printmakers have been exploring funding to keep this scholarship opportunity affordable…
  • To keep this scholarship opportunity robust for members, for 2025 The Boston Printmakers will support housing in Venice for the fellowship. We are coordinating with the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers (RE) to continue to share housing if possible. Once our members are selected for 2025 scholarships in October, we will discuss details and/or possibilities.
  • BP will have parameters and a budgeted amount that cannot be exceeded, therefore a process will occur after Scuola selects BP and RE recipients of 2025 fellowships this October.
  • Our intent is for all or most of the cost of housing to be covered (meaning that a member receiving the Guest Artist Fellowship may have to pay something toward their one-month stay).
  • BP Members discount for Partial Fellowship (scroll below Full Fellowship)
  • Any member of The Boston Printmakers who wishes to apply for a Partial Fellowship at the Scuola Internazionale di Grafica will be granted a 10% discount on residency fees.
  • Please read carefully all information about a studio residency provided at the link to learn about programs and how to apply for a 1 to 12 week residency for professional and practicing artists. Projects may include printmaking, book arts, drawing, painting, illustration, and calligraphy.
  • The Resident Artists have access to the Scuola’s studios seven days per week. The Scuola is located in the heart of Venice and is equipped for most printmaking methods, including lithography, letterpress, intaglio, and less-toxic techniques.
  • The Boston Printmakers is grateful to Scuola Internazionale di Grafica for this generous fellowship and for their many years of support.
