About BYO Print and our VALUES
BYO Printmaking Collaborative is a nonprofit organization fostering collaboration between artists, printmakers and the public through access to community workspace. As an artist-led nonprofit workspace, we thrive on active participation and a collaborative mentality, where all voices have equal value, especially in regards to collective decision-making. Community printshops often serve as a sanctuary space for artists and printmakers, and BYO Print aims to be a safe space for all marginalized voices, and promotes equity amongst its members. We support diversity and work intentionally to lift each other up through collective decision-making. We welcome you, radical artist, and hope you want to come work alongside us. As a women-founded nonprofit, we lead the printshop through an inclusive, intersectional feminist lens and do not tolerate sexism, bigotry, racism, or fascism of any kind in our studio.
If that all sounds good, we hope you’ll consider applying for membership at BYO Print. Get inky with us!
