WHY WE ARE DOING ITFuture Ink Graphics (FIG) offers this program free to an artist each year. By offering the program at no cost to the creative, FIG provides opportunities to those who may not have been able to receive training because of financial barriers. Women are still generally paid less and receive less recognition for their contributions to the art community, this residency is one step in providing more equitable access to resources and development.
WHAT IS THE ANNE KIBBE RESIDENCY PROGRAMThe
Anne Kibbe Residency Program for Women** is awarded annually to a creative who self-identifies as a woman, and wants to learn about digital arts and technology, and silkscreen printing. The goal of the residency is to provide resources, training and opportunities to help further develop their skills. This is done through access to FIG's facility and ongoing support. By offering the residency at no cost to the artist, FIG continues its commitment to contributing to a more accessible and equitable arts community.
