“Where Legacy Meets Innovation – Create at Brandywine!”

  • APPLICATION DEADLINE: October 31, 2025
  • Residency Dates: 2026
  • Location: Brandywine Workshop and Archives (BWA), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

BWA is proud to offer a fully funded two-week print production residency for individual artists.

This highly competitive program emphasizes innovation, experimentation, and the creation of NEW WORK—rather than the reproduction of existing images or traditional processes. Selected artists will have the unique opportunity to push boundaries by incorporating new materials and technologies (such as digital cutters) alongside traditional printmaking techniques.
