SCHOLARSHIPS

SCHOLARSHIPS

Manhattan Graphics Center awards 11 scholarships each year. Any artist who has not previously worked at MGC (i.e. taken a class, taught a class, served as a monitor, or purchased open workshop time) is eligible to apply. Printmaking experience is not required, and there is no fee to apply. A scholarship consists of: tuition waiver for class (either one core class or two workshops), unlimited open workshop hours for one term, $125 materials reimbursement, storage space for one term, and MGC membership for 1 year (includes eligibility to participate in members’ events and exhibitions). Awardees also have the opportunity to deliver a public artist talk and make a donation of one print to the MGC archive after the conclusion of the scholarship term.

Please see further eligibility requirements below. We invite you to visit the studio at your convenience.
