Serie Print Project

This Austin-based, non-profit organization promotes the production of affordable fine art through a type of screen printing called serigraphy. The organizers provide one to two weeks of free housing, serigraphy instruction, and use of serigraphy equipment to ten to fifteen artists per year. The project provides materials and equipment for each artist to create fifty copies of a single print. The Serie Project was founded by printmaker Sam Coronado in 1993, and takes place at his Coronado Studio in Austin.

Two-thirds of the artists accepted to the program are of Latin American decent, and one-third are of other ethnicities. Thirty percent of accepted applicants are from the Austin area, thirty percent are from other regions of Texas, and thirty percent are from other regions of the United States. Ten percent of accepted applicants are from Latin American countries.
