Our Legacy of Cultural Exchange
For over twenty years, Zygote has been a pioneer in artist residencies. Nearly 200 artists have traveled the world…and brought the world to Cleveland. Zygote Press’ residencies are made possible by support from: The Ohio Arts Council, Cuyahoga Arts and Culture, The Cleveland Foundation, The George Gund Foundation, The Char and Chuck Fowler Family Foundation, The National Endowment for the Arts, The Martha Holden Jennings
Foundation and the Cyrus Eaton Foundation. As we look toward the future, we reflect on the impact residencies have had on artists and our communities.
Zygote offers two open-call, two-week residencies each year. You don’t need to be a printmaker to apply, but you must have some background in print. This year’s deadline is June 15. To apply or for more info visit zygotepress.org.
