and to help inform our public about current art trends, the medium of printmaking and to examine relevant issues of the day. These lectures, along with book signings, workshops, seminars and panel discussions, are always free to the public. Brandywine also participates with affiliate institutions in the joint presentation of its educational programs in Philadelphia and around the country. |

| Internship Training in Printmaking For students, recent high school graduates. Unlike a traditional apprentice program that leads directly to employment, the quarterly internship in the areas of Curatorial, Arts Administration and Printmaking are a supplement to academic and technical training and serve as a career bridge to further, more advanced work in the field.
Student Work-Study Scholarships Subject to available funding, artistically talented high school students are offered opportunities to work in the Visual Technologies Center at Brandywine.
