Summer Camps

Note: Our print and wood shops are closed for renovations, so we are not currently accepting applications for our Print Fellowship.

‍

Our part-time Print Fellow lives and works in Wassaic for 6 months, managing our print shop, providing support on projects by artists-in-residence, and producing prints with 10 artists in our Print Editions program throughout the summer. The Print Fellow will have an opportunity to work closely with a community of artists and have full access to a 24-hour print shop in Wassaic, NY.

The Wassaic Project is an equal opportunity employer. We encourage candidates from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds to apply.
