Hosted by Master Printer Cindi Royce Ettinger, the CRE Fellowship is awarded each summer to an artist whose work demonstrates an uncommon grasp of the printmaking medium and an influential and energetic approach.

The candidate chosen to receive the fellowship will be granted 24 hour access to the Second State Press facility for the one month during the summer, two flat file drawers in which to store paper and supplies, a modest stipend and all critical feedback that membership in a communal print shop like Second State Press provides. It is requested that two prints be donated to permanent collections belonging to C.R. Ettinger Studio and Second State Press.
