Collaborative Printmaking Residency - Fall/Winter 2026-2027

Overview

Obee Editions offers a collaborative artist residency focused on the creation of original fine art printmaking projects. Artists work one-on-one with Tamarind Master Printer Perry Obee to develop new work through traditional and contemporary printmaking techniques.
