Artist opportunities
Second State Press is committed to creating advancement opportunities and studio access for emerging and established artists alike.
Fob Holder Program
The Fob Holder Program is a unique and competitive opportunity in which recipients enjoy 24/7 access to professional printmaking facilities in exchange for hosting open hours and assisting with events.
2026 Member Print Exchange
The Annual Member Print Exchange is an un-juried, open themed print exchange open to all current members of Second State Press.
This year’s exchange celebrates sixteen years of printmaking at Second State Press.
Exchange prints will be on view at our Annual Art Auction & Party on December 12th.
2026 Open Call
Second State Press invites submissions for a national open call exhibition presented as part of Collective Futures. At its core, this exhibition understands community not as a fixed identity, but as an outcome, something produced through shared experience, conversation and proximity.
Deadline August 7th, 2026

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.

Ditto Micro-Residency
