PRINTMAKING ATELIERS THROUGH SELF HELP GRAPHICS & ART’S PROFESSIONAL PRINTMAKING PROGRAM Self Help Graphics & Art’s (SHG) acclaimed Professional Printmaking Program offers artists of various experiences the opportunity to create limited edition silkscreen serigraphs and monoprints through a peerled approach that is dedicated to providing an environment that nurtures and supports our artists’ creativity and careers.

Each year, SHG conducts one to two atelier projects. 10 artists per atelier are invited to create new work in SHG’s nationally recognized printmaking studio. An artist/curator is selected for each atelier and projects range in theme and focus. The artist/curator selects participating artists and presents the project’s concept to SHG’s Program Manager and Executive Director, after which it is presented to participating artists. The project’s method of peer-to-peer learning through the role of the artist/curator continues the tradition of SHG’s artist-led mission and programming.

Once the artists are selected, a weeklong artist residency is held in collaboration with the artist/curator as well as SHG’s Printer and Program Manager at SHG’s fully equipped silkscreen studio. Artists are free to use traditional painting techniques and to experiment with text, digital, or photo manipulation in the creation of their work. The artist works with the Master Printer and Program Manager throughout the entire process.

Each edition is printed on archival paper, receives SHG’s studio chop, and is certified in accordance with professional printmaking standards.

As is the tradition of the program, each artist receives 50% of their edition, and all artist proofs. A portion (changed from: dozen) of the remaining prints are distributed among SHG’s archive at UC Santa Barbara as well as among a number of national institutions, which house SHG’s collection including the National Mexican Museum of Art in Chicago and University of Notre Dame. The remaining prints are placed into inventory and sold to the public with proceeds going to help sustain the program. It is our philosophy to view the entire process as an exchange. The artist is given the opportunity to create a first quality serigraph edition free of charge, and SHG receives a share of the edition for programming and fundraising. It is also important to note that print exhibitions created through this program reach diverse local, national, and international audiences, furthering the exposure and impact of the artist’s work.

As one of the most recognized Latino printmaking centers in America, SHG is committed to taking more innovative approaches in everything it does. In 2013-2014 we have been dedicated to working with artists in exploring the juxtaposition of traditional and non-traditional printmaking processes, as well as to the development of content that is at once culturally relevant and investigative. As is our tradition and mission, emerging artists will be central in helping us experiment in each atelier.
