About the Residency Hosts
Macy Chadwick received an MFA in Book Arts and Printmaking from The University of the Arts in Philadelphia and assisted book artist Julie Chen at Flying Fish Press in Berkeley for three years. After fifteen years of teaching at the Academy of Art University, San Francisco Art Institute, and San Francisco Center for the Book, Macy decided to pursue her dream of directing a residency and founded In Cahoots Residency in 2018. This dream combines her passions of working alongside other artists, hosting people in a creative space, and collaboration. Along with directing the residency, Macy continues to create artists books and limited edition prints in her separate art studio which is onsite at the residency. Her work is widely collected and is in prominent collections in the U.S. and abroad, including the Victoria and Albert Museum, Yale University Special Collections, and the Jack Ginsberg Collection in South Africa.
In Cahoots Residency provides housing and studio space to both emerging and professional artists in a variety of mediums, with a focus on artists books, letterpress, printmaking (etching, relief, monoprint), writing, and collaboration. The residency hosts from three to five artists at a time. Residents are provided private individual guest houses (with kitchens and full bathrooms) and 24-hour access to the spacious shared studios. Residents do their own cooking. For those without a car, rides to the grocery store/supply store and weekly group field trips (to places such as Sonoma or the Pacific coast) are provided free of charge. incahootsresidency.com

There he worked on and led projects with the leading artists of the studio, including: John Cage, Richard Diebenkorn, Francesco Clemente, Pat Steir, Sol LeWitt, Shoichi Ida, and Judy Pfaff. Later Mullowney moved to Nara, Japan where he lived for ten years in a 17th century Zen temple, working on many projects in collaboration with a local scroll mounter while employing Japanese techniques and papers which continue to inform his approach to melding Western and Eastern traditions in contemporary printmaking. From 2004 to 2009 Mullowney was founding director of HuiPress in Maui where he worked on collaborative large-scale projects with Sandow Birk, Joyce Kozloff, Judy Pfaff, Nicola Lopez, Swoon, Artemio Rodriguez, Robert Kushner, and many other emerging and international artists. He has taught numerous workshops and has been visiting faculty at Portland’s Pacific Northwest College of Art, and the San Francisco Art Institute.
Mullowney Printing was started in San Francisco in 2011 and is named after the commercial lithography company founded by J.D. Mullowney in the early 1920’s in Minneapolis. Located in the heart of San Francisco’s Mission District, the shop is a multi-faceted fine art printmaking studio specializing in etching, photogravure, silkscreen, relief and letterpress. In addition to contract printing and some publishing, Mullowney Printing also focuses on education with workshops, community outreach and internship.

John Gruenwald has been drawing pictures since childhood. In high school his teacher introduced him to etching and a love affair with printmaking was born. In college it was stone lithography that caught his attention. After graduation, he and his former instructor, Roland Poska, were partners in a collaborative print shop, Fishy Whale Press, printing stone lithographs for other artists. From there Gruenwald moved to New Mexico to open his own print shop, Windmill Press, and printed for artists of the Southwest. After a short stint working at Landfall Press in Chicago, he opened Cream City Graphics in Milwaukee where he printed and published artists of the Midwest for 15 years. During this period, he also taught printmaking at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design.Gruenwald moved to San Francisco in the mid 90’s where the focus has been on his own artwork: printmaking and oil painting. For three years, he partnered with Terry Chastain in Tinhorn Gallery, a storefront print gallery and studio in Hayes Valley, until opening the current incarnation of Gruenwald Press on Mission Street in 2005. His work is represented by Annex Gallery in Santa Rosa, and Peltz Gallery in Milwaukee. Collections that contain work by Gruenwald include the Milwaukee Art Museum, the City of Seattle, and the Harry Quadracci Collection.
