Open Studio is Seeking an Executive Director

About Open Studio

Open Studio is a creative space that inspires, supports and celebrates printmaking. We are an open-access printmaking studio, an art gallery, and an inclusive place to engage with new ideas.

Open Studio was founded in 1970 as a space created, governed and supported by artists who wanted to continue their printmaking practice in an inclusive, communal setting. Printmaking requires specialized equipment, space, and expertise. Open Studio was established as an Artist-Run Centre (ARC) to meet these needs, providing a studio space where artists can work using a range of printmaking techniques, including intaglio, lithography, relief, screenprinting, and more.

Today, Open Studio is Toronto’s only artist-run printmaking centre offering affordable, comprehensive access to printmaking facilities and programs for local, national, and international artists. Open Studio supports artists and the broader community through facility rentals, education, residencies, exhibitions,



print sales and public events.

Our vision is that printmaking opens the door to accessible, innovative, and inspiring art.
