A new micro-residency welcomes six emerging artists to spend one-month at Misk Art Institute’s silkscreen printing studio in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to develop and produce a limited-edition Artbook. Residents will be provided with precious time, space, tools, and screen printing and bookbinding expertise throughout their journey.
The micro-residency is designed to support artists to utilize our latest Kippax screen printing equipment to produce a series of prints in the form of an artist book.
