Based in Yogyakarta, Studio Grafis Minggiran is an arts community, founded on a work site or studio-centered practice, which focuses on the development of printmaking techniques. Studio Grafis Minggiran was founded in 2001 by a group of artists who were, at that time, printmaking students at the Indonesia Institute of the Arts, Faculty of Fine Arts.

During its development, Studio Grafis Minggiran became a creative work space accessible to anyone interested in facilitating the discourse on, or practice of, printmaking in Indonesia.

Studio Grafis Minggiran conducts a diverse range of educational and printmaking appreciation programs – such as exhibitions, special projects and workshops – across a wide spectrum of locations for broad audiences including artists, college and primary school students, and the general public.
