ARTIST RUN PRINT STUDIO FOR ARTISTS,
PHOTOGRAPHERS AND DESIGNERS

APPLY FOR MEMBERSHIP AGA LAB

We would like to thank everyone who was able to attend the Friends of AGA LAB meeting last Thursday. Your contribution gives hope for the future and is of the utmost importance for keeping the doors open and for the evolution of the studio.

It is very clear that the oldest studio for the graphic arts, in the broadest sense of the word, must remain open; a studio where artists, illustrators, designers, photographers and/or makers locally and internationally can always come to work. In order to continue to make this possible, AGA LAB is going to reorganize, and we are going back to basics; AGA LAB will become an artist run space.

AGA LAB is looking for 20 artists to jointly form the basis of this new, horizontal organization. Participating in this core group means that you are jointly responsible for the ins and outs of the studio. Membership in this core group is 200 euros per month for a period of 6 months. In fact, you’ll rent a workspace within AGA LAB: you’ll have access to the entire studio. Long-term commitment and responsibility/ and a sense of ownership are of great importance.

We are looking for 20 artists, illustrators, designers, photographers and/or makers who are familiar with AGA LAB and want to use the graphic workshop. Are you interested? Register by sending an e-mail to info@agalab.nl, we will then contact you.

With your support, AGA LAB has a future.
