Kala Art Institute is thrilled to announce that our public art residency & community engagement project, Print Public, has evolved and is back with new funding from the National Endowment of the Arts (NEA) Our Town program. Kala looked for projects that will tie in print and digital media in site specific and experimental ways, and will be outside and offsite.

We are excited to be hosting two artist teams that will create temporary public art that engages the community along San Pablo Avenue in Kala’s West Berkeley neighborhood. These selected artists will receive an artist stipend and a 14-month residency at Kala with 24/7 access to our printmaking studio and digital lab.

Public sites are determined by the artists and respective businesses. Kala will assist in creating relationships with surrounding partners of the past Print Public projects, or aid in coming up with new creative endeavors.
