Funen Printmaking Studio is a unique cultural institution that creates professional visual art and thereby contributes to marking Funen as a part of the country with a rich and varied cultural life. The studio exists because there is a strong community of interest among graphic artists who want to develop the art and graphic professionalism. In the house, strong graphic traditions are cultivated and developed, and from here knowledge of the potential of the graphic medium is spread.

Funen Printmaking Studio is both a workshop, Artist in Residence, gallery and shop. That is, a small ecosystem with a strong history and derived unique spirit (genius loci = spirit of the place).

In 2026, Funen Printmaking Studio has been a reality for 50 years. We want to celebrate the idea together with current members, guests, Odense Municipality and the other Funen municipalities. The anniversary is the occasion to spread and increase knowledge of the graphic art in order to maintain a continued interest among the artists and the public.

Funen Printmaking Studio will continue to reach out to children and young people, introducing them to the world of printmaking. In doing so, it supports a strongly visual and image-driven generation — the adults of the future — in using their minds and hands to reflect on and create images of the complex world they inhabit and are part of. – Odense, 19 January 2023
