Education

Don’t know how to use this extremely esoteric and complicated equipment? Don’t worry! While you are expected to have at least some experience with analog printing and scanning, the specific intricacies will be happily explained and you’ll be making your own work in no time.

If you want to really dive into a process, full courses can be negotiated.

How It Works

Silver House accepts applicants from all over the world. The residency is designed to include modest housing accommodations, but you’re welcome to stay at your own place if you prefer. Either way, an $750/month contribution is necessary to sustain the residency. Essentially, we’ll be roommates who happen to be making a ton of work side by side. This fee grants you 24hr access to an unparalleled selection of equipment and resources, along with covering some standard chemistry and some materials. It’s a small price to pay considering what you’ll have access to.
