Applications will open soon. Click the contact button below to be notified. A fund supporting artists, healers and poets who are rewriting the story of human connection and love. Cara F. Franson collaborates with artists-in-residence to translate their art into print through letterpress printing. This allows artists to connect to their work in new and physical ways offering avenues for deeper meaning and transformation. A portion of the proceeds from each project supports the material costs for the next artist in a pay-it-forward, artist-to-artist exchange. Applications for the collective are accepted on an ongoing basis and are carefully considered. https://www.carafranson.com/contact-us daily 0.75 2022-03-11 https://www.carafranson.com/application daily 0.75 2022-01-30 https://www.carafranson.com/portfolio daily 0.75 2023-01-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ac1297e822f875de096c04/645c923f-493d-4738-ac79-15ba78de7187/RYP_Underwood_2018-018.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ac1297e822f875de096c04/e0d09f09-e6c5-4261-82a8-e9bb58076082/RYP_Underwood_2018-053.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ac1297e822f875de096c04/93b1ccc0-6092-4261-aae1-ccb068446704/cara-esme-preview-40.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ac1297e822f875de096c04/62eb1a7e-6389-4a57-9e80-4267d2e750c0/RYP_Underwood_2018-024.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ac1297e822f875de096c04/615ac77b-a82a-4b55-8e56-f3c7dad19ba3/RYP_Underwood_2018-042.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ac1297e822f875de096c04/ff348df6-f65b-49e9-8a47-64d70042bacf/RYP_Georgia-045.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ac1297e822f875de096c04/e9fba6d3-0762-4c37-8c63-c45849e913d0/RYP_Georgia-026.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ac1297e822f875de096c04/007f57bb-98cc-4fbd-abbe-49ecf660b94a/cara-eseme-poem-details-10.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ac1297e822f875de096c04/5ffae47a-39e1-4d18-a039-0acfa05f034a/RYP_Underwood_2018-013.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ac1297e822f875de096c04/28de687f-51ef-43ad-aef1-940012e2a09f/RYP_Underwood_2018-045.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ac1297e822f875de096c04/7598f747-a1c4-42da-a8b6-db776fd329da/RYP_Georgia-070.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ac1297e822f875de096c04/b4a25269-24f0-4c17-91c0-496dfb65e885/cara-esme-preview-42.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ac1297e822f875de096c04/d43c482e-fc07-4d87-960a-3e2e2bdeacbd/RYP_Underwood_2018-020.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ac1297e822f875de096c04/adab0ee9-fa84-41f9-b18a-4952e28e21fe/RYP_Underwood_2018-050.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ac1297e822f875de096c04/b97ee174-73d2-4e1a-93c2-1b44612e4be7/RYP_Georgia-002.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ac1297e822f875de096c04/2bfcb52f-cfe4-4c3b-b378-43e7a5a3c9bb/cara-esme-preview-50.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ac1297e822f875de096c04/a7aff7eb-f18c-4cf9-b6a2-bee241a01415/RYP_Underwood_2018-027.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ac1297e822f875de096c04/a20ed434-2e62-4d78-bb8b-93f937ab3348/RYP_Helen-028.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ac1297e822f875de096c04/4b8d4c08-12c7-47cc-8b58-f58ee06ba894/cara-esme-preview-52.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ac1297e822f875de096c04/d660956b-cb40-45ca-b49f-647f1089ab9f/RYP_Helen-014.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ac1297e822f875de096c04/72eddf20-6e72-48b9-b0a3-abd5da381d6f/cara-eseme-poem-details-1.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ac1297e822f875de096c04/0c203ce4-3ef3-4b0e-b678-9cf69be7506a/RYP_Helen-004.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ac1297e822f875de096c04/f1a3ebbf-0761-420f-bc27-840a1cf36bbd/cara-esme-preview-30.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ac1297e822f875de096c04/73ca6428-481d-447b-bf5d-26a61447d17c/RYP_Helen-017.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ac1297e822f875de096c04/bb420db2-818e-473a-baad-522d87d08a8a/cara-esme-preview-55.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ac1297e822f875de096c04/ef5d28ff-6d3c-4022-8a48-65ec7c4229cf/RYP_Kusam-003.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ac1297e822f875de096c04/e6d1110a-4ac2-453a-ad0d-ec7af15f21ca/cara-esme-preview-13.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ac1297e822f875de096c04/b0fbf399-2a70-4b1d-b892-0dc2c968b2bc/RYP_Kusam-025.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ac1297e822f875de096c04/5a82b878-a7b9-4a66-a49d-a514a9ba414e/cara-esme-preview-14.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ac1297e822f875de096c04/5ea05851-bd49-4fb8-8a50-adca5b6d3e6b/RYP_Kusam-018.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ac1297e822f875de096c04/e3955039-18ac-499d-9166-919d555b6390/cara-eseme-poem-details-4.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ac1297e822f875de096c04/c0ea9331-9197-476b-a9d6-6c50c88bdd08/RYP_Kusam-022.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ac1297e822f875de096c04/50cc7beb-79a3-4d29-bb8f-74b031f8714f/cara-esme-preview-21.jpg portfolio
