Soutien aux projets d'artistes BIPOC

Project Support for BIPOC Artists is a program run by Zea Mays Printmaking, a professional printmaking studio in Western Massachusetts. The initiative invites artists who identify as Black, Indigenous, South/East/West Asian, Latino/a/x, Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, or any person of color, and who are local to Western Massachusetts, to submit proposals for printmaking‑based projects. Selected artists receive free membership and studio access hours, use of the studio’s facilities and equipment, one‑on‑one instruction or critique, and consultation on sustainable printmaking practices. Applications are reviewed by studio management and faculty, with decisions communicated by September 18, 2026. The program aims to remove barriers to studio access and support environmentally responsible artistic practice.
