PrintHouston formed The Nancy Luton Printmaking Education Fund to support students who are interested in learning about and enhancing their skills in printmaking. This year we open it up to students that want to further their knowledge and skills in creating original prints through classes, workshops, and conferences. The grants range from $100 to $900. Recipients will be featured on the PrintHouston website and social media and will receive a one-year student membership.
The online application will open on May 15, 2024 and close on September 7, 2024. Notifications will be emailed by September 30, 2024. Students of all levels who reside in Texas and are 18 years and older may apply.
