Atlanta Printmakers Studio is pleased to continue these programs that provide support to artists, providing them with opportunities to work in the studio and develop as printmakers.


STERNE EDUCATIONAL SCHOLARSHIP
Congratulations to this year's winners:
Kathy King
Jennifer Cawley

This scholarship program awards two people the opportunity to take a free class or workshop at APS. One class and one workshop are awarded each year. All artists are eligible to apply, regardless of experience level.
This scholarship was created when children of Harold & Judi Sterne approached APS with a donation to commemorate the work of their parents who have dedicated their careers to the arts.
Applications are not being accepted at this time.

The Emerging Artist Residency provides the resources necessary for emerging artists to complete a printmaking project that they propose. Access to the APS studio for up to six months, a free class, and personal mentoring are included, as well as a materials stipend of $600. Applicants must have some previous printmaking experience but are also encouraged to reach beyond their area of comfort and try something new. Up to three winning artists are chosen by an independent panel on the basis of the proposal, including both concept and feasibility.

APS Board of Directors and employees are not eligible to apply. APS members, contracted APS instructors and volunteers are eligible to apply.
