About this residency
The Printermedia Residency - Metal Arts program is a growing, evolving opportunity for emerging and established artists to deepen their practice within a shared, supportive space. Developed in collaboration with Malaspina Printmakers Society, the metal arts stream of this residency is juried and supported by the Vancouver Metal Arts Association. The opportunity offers metal and jewellery artists access to tools, time, and a supportive community.
This is not a production rental. It’s a place to test, question, refine, and expand your work.
