Vision/Mission

To shape the exploration of print as essential, dynamic, and relevant to contemporary culture and creative thought.

About

Open Studio is an Artist-Run Centre dedicated to contemporary print. We offer accessible, inclusive and affordable printmaking facilities, programs and services for artists and the public from across Canada and abroad.

Our priority is to support artists in the creation and exhibition of contemporary print in an open-minded, safe and collaborative environment.

Our facility supports various printmaking techniques, including screenprinting, lithography and intaglio/relief printing. We open the door to printmaking through our studio facilities, education programming, residencies, scholarships, exhibitions and public art installations.

Our Goals

  • Contribute to innovation in printmaking and excellence in contemporary visual arts;
  • Provide a safe, shared space that is accessible to people from all communities;
  • Support artists working in print through access to comprehensive printmaking facilities and technical support;
  • Promote artists through exhibitions, public installations and print sales;
  • Provide professional development opportunities through residencies, scholarships, exhibitions and education;
  • Provide educational opportunities through hands-on courses, workshops and collaborative projects;
  • Work on behalf of artists, ensuring the payment of artist fees and acting as an advocate for artists’ rights;
  • And facilitate partnerships and alliances between artists, arts organizations, and educational institutions.
