Residencies at Women’s Studio Workshop

For over forty years, Women?s Studio Workshop (WSW) has provided studio space to artists interested in working in printmaking, hand papermaking, silkscreen, ceramics, letterpress, photography, and book arts. WSW?s programming includes residencies and internships for artists at all stages of their careers; Summer Art Institute workshops in all studio disciplines; and year-round ceramics workshops.

WSW?s mission is to operate and maintain an artists? workspace that encourages the voice and vision of individual women artists, provides professional opportunities for artists at various stages of their careers and promotes programs designed to stimulate public involvement, awareness and support for the visual arts.
