Siden 2019 har vi haft et Artist in Residence-program I vores hus i Hans Jensens stræde 20 i Odense. Her er to små værelser på 1. sal, og køkken og bad i stueetagen. Vi modtager gerne ansøgninger om ophold fra en uge op til 3 måneders varighed.
Vi ønsker at give udenlandske grafikere mulighed for at arbejde i vores værksteder, samt at udvikle de talentfulde grafikere blandt vores egne medlemmer. Vi modtager gerne gæstekunstnere fra hele verden. Desværre har vi ikke midler til at gøre opholdet gratis for kunstneren.
Det koster 200 kr. i døgnet for logi og 500 kr. for et værkstedskort. Man bør være medlem af Fyns Grafiske Værksted for at søge ophold. Vores tilbud til gæstekunstnere er 5.000 DKK for en hel måned. Kunstneren skal kunne arbejde selvstændigt i værkstedet. Man kan søge om tilskud til sine rejse og opholdsudgifter hos kunst.dk
Hvis du har lyst til at høre mere, kontakt Lene Leveau på mail fynsgrafiskevaerksted@gmail.com eller telefon +45 6613 9973
Fyns Grafiske Værksted har tre udvekslingsaftaler for medlemmer. Hvis du har lyst til at arbejde med grafik andre steder for at lære nyt, kan du sende en begrundet ansøgning om at komme til Atelier Circulaire i Montreal, til Künstlerhaus Lukas i Tyskland, eller til Mältinranta i Finland senest d. 15 januar 2022.

Artist in Residence
Since 2019 we have had an Artist in Residence program in our house in Hans Jensen's Street 20 in Odense in Denmark. Here are two small rooms on the first floor, and a kitchen and a bathroom on the ground floor. We receive applications for stays of one week up to 3 months. There is no deadline.
We want to give foreign printmaking artists the opportunity to work in our studios, and to develop talented graphic artists. We welcome guest artists from all over the world.
Unfortunately, we do not have the means to make the stay expense free for the artist. The expense for one month is 5.000 DKK. This gives you full access to the studio which is fully equipped.
You can apply for grants for travel- and subsistence expenses at www.kunst.dk
If you have any questions or would like further information, please contact Lene Leveau fynsgrafiskevaerksted@gmail.com
or +45 6613 9973

Artists helping Artists (article by John Graham, Assistent Professor at Saskachewan University)
The collective experience of creating prints in a shared studio has always appealed to me. I value how printmaking in a communal environment allows for artists to help other artists. I was affirmed of this strongly held belief during a recent artist residency in Denmark at the Funen Printmaking Workshop in Odense. This one-month residency provided free studio access and local accommodation. The Workshop facility is ideally located in Odense in the heart of the old quarter with picturesque, cobbled streets. Over 300 members from Denmark and 20 other countries are members of this lively Workshop that is only a few doors away from the birthplace home of beloved Hans Christian Andersen.
Odense is Denmark's third largest city. The Funen Printmaking Workshop is a private association and receives funding support from the City of Odense, artists, memberships, and from the sales of prints. This cozy workshop offers several studios for working in etching, relief printmaking, photo-printmaking, and lithography. This extremely welcoming Scandinavian studio is a creative environment with lots of spontaneous interaction and mentorship between members on a daily basis. You are immediately made to feel part of their very supportive graphic art community. There is a constant free flow of discussions and friendly exchanges of art printmaking techniques, and cultural ideas. Visitors also drop into the studios on an everyday basis.
An elegant exhibition space is located adjacent to the ground floor studio and hosts 12 exhibitions per year. Of note, the gallery also facilitates art exhibitions that are intended just for audiences of young people of the ages of 3 to 18. These special exhibitions are intended to educate and involve new generations to appreciate printmaking art. Tickets are purchased and then each young visitor independently experiences the artwork and then exchanges the ticket for a print of her or his choosing without any adult supervision.
The studio is making new strides to improve non-toxic methods of printmaking. During my stay, several of the Workshop members traveled to a Swedish conference of other printmaking collectives to exchange and network new ideas. A special topic of interest was to discuss further developing visiting artist exchanges at no or low cost between printmaking studios in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Germany.
The Workshop is located only a few minutes away from the train and bus stations so travel to the other parts of Denmark can be easily planned. For example, Denmark's second city, Aarhus is less than 2 hours away by train and is worth a visit to experience the work of the Rainbow Panorama conceived by Icelandic-Danish artist Olafur Eliasson. This circular 150 meter walkway is perched on top of the large cube shaped ARoS Art Museum. The Louisiana Art Museum north of Copenhagen is a must visit. It must be one of the world's most superb art galleries hosting stellar international visual art exhibitions in multiple buildings set in amidst unforgettable Scandinavian garden seaside settings.
The studio also has a bicycle to loan to each residency guest. Denmark is probably one of the most bike friendly nations on the planet. On the first day I joined the thousands who cycle every day in town peddling on endless dedicated bike paths. Odense hosts a plethora of art events and activities including art exhibitions, film festivals, free open air concerts, classical concerts in the cathedral, small paddle boat rentals on the river, folk dancing in the park, etc.
The workshop hosts a variety of artist talks throughout the year. These are presented by guest artists as well as by members who have travelled and returned home with new printmaking experiences to share. The workshop also facilitates 6 to 8 courses per year. These courses cover a wide range of print media and techniques. They are attended by artist members, professional printers, and students from the local art academy.
I met many printmakers in the workshop who were doing very exciting work. These included Yngve Riber who was doing multi-plate etchings and Teresa Larson who was creating cyanotypes. At the time of my residency, member artists Elmar Monster and Marinne Lindberg Jepsen were participating in an outreach program to interest children in the art of printmaking by doing demos and helping young people create prints in situ at a "pop-up" library at the base of an office tower in central Odense.
Of note, the Funen Printmaking Workshop is actively looking for exchange opportunities with other printmaking international studios as well as future visiting guest artists who speak English or Danish. I was delighted to give an artist talk and exhibit my prints created during the residency. I thoroughly enjoyed my Odense stay and hope to return to Denmark soon.

In from the Margins
Residency Opportunity for Refugee and Migrant Artists at Printmaking Studios Across EuropeFive printmaking studios across Europe are inviting applications from artists who identify as refugees or with experience of displacement to undertake a 1-month long printmaking residency as part of the European residency programme In from the Margins, funded by Creative Europe.
30 artists will be selected in total, will have the opportunity to work in a print medium of their choice and will be supported to develop their practice practically and professionally. Throughout the residency programme we will be welcoming refugee and migrant communities in the studios to engage with resident artists, to share their own stories and create new work which will be shared between our project members and the wider visual arts community in Europe. The programme will culminate in a group exhibition at Edinburgh Printmakers in spring 2023.
Made possible with the support of the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union,
In from the Margins is a collaboration between:
Edinburgh Printmakers, Scotland https://edinburghprintmakers.co.uk
Cork Printmakers, Ireland https://corkprintmakers.ie
Funen Printmaking Studio, Odense, Denmark https://fynsgv.dk
International Centre of Graphic Arts, Ljubljana, Slovenia https://www.mglc-lj.si
AGA Lab, Amsterdam, Netherlands https://agalab.nl
Details
Artists are invited to apply for the residency opportunity available within their host country.
Application period: 15.12. 2021

In from the Margins
How can we support and promote work by refugee and migrant artists who have had to leave everything behind?
Funded by Creative Europe, In from the Margins is a European programme of Studios of Sanctuary residencies that provides: supported workspaces for artists from refugee and migrant backgrounds; exchanges of their work; and engagement with refugee, schools and wider communities. Work with refugee and migrant artists is currently largely focused on outreach and engagement programmes of major galleries. The project will bring this work 'in from the margins' to mainstream programming.
In from the Margins will create the first network of Studios of Sanctuary in Europe, offering opportunities for 30 artists from refugee and migrant backgrounds to take up supported residencies in internationally recognised print studios, taking place as follows:
9 residencies at Edinburgh Printmakers
6 residencies at Cork Printmakers, Funen Printmaking Studio, Odense and International Centre of Graphic Arts, Ljubljana; and
3 residencies at AGA Lab, Amsterdam.
An engagement programme with refugee, schools and wider communities will be running alongside the residencies. The contribution that refugees and migrant communities make to wider society will be celebrated also through exchanges of their work, exhibitions, and multi-disciplinary events.
In from the Margins seeks to break down barriers and create opportunities for refugee artists and local communities to share and to learn from each other while being supported by the resources and expertise of print studios. Each organisation will work in the language of their own studio and the languages of the resident artists where possible.
The project emerged from discussions between the partners, all print studios with civic aims which are based in multicultural cities on the margins of Europe. Our residency programme will further develop the 'Studios of Sanctuary' model, which originated in Yorkshire in response to the work of migrant artist Mohammed Barrangi, an artist and former Paralympian from Iran who became resident artist at The Art House in Wakefield, in a range of contexts across Europe.
