Frans Masereel Centrum

Frans Masereel Centre offers residencies and a working space to graphic designers, artists and critics who want to work with intaglio, relief printing, screen print or lithography, or who want to investigate the relationship of graphics with other visual arts. The focus is on creation and experimentation in the workshop. Our general residency program invites artists to realize an individual, multiform, print-related project that matches their artistic practice. The focus of the general residency lies on development, creation and eventually production in one or more of our workshops. Critics, writers, artists, curators and academics can also reside at the Centre to conduct theoretical research about the medium of printmaking, prepare a critical text on a print-related topic, develop ideas for curatorial projects, etc. A school residency is a unique opportunity for universities and university colleges with a Master-degree program to develop a contemporary, print-related project - both individually and/or in group. In a professional printmaking workshop and within the context of an international residency and exhibition space, students are invited to experiment and realize their projects under the supervision of their tutors.
