Spudnik Press Cooperative is now accepting applications for our fourth annual Printing Apprenticeship, slated to begin February 1, 2016.

This opportunity is a ten-month position that combines professional experience working with clients through our Publishing Program with entrepreneurial guidance. Artists apply with a substantial personal project they would like to work on throughout the apprenticeship. Over the course of the year, the apprentice will work with an advisor to develop their project, which could be along the line of establishing their own business, developing a line of products, coordinating a collaborative project, or developing their professional art practice.

Enriching the experiences, apprentices are hired to work at Spudnik one day a week. While working for Spudnik Press, apprentices will assist with in-house and commissioned publishing projects. Over the course of the year, apprentices will gain experience with every aspect of publishing, honing professional screenprinting skills while learning the administrative skills required to support the printing projects.

Applications are due January 3, 2016. The 2016 Apprenticeship Program will run from February 1 – December 15, 2016.
