Koyama Press was founded in 2007 to sponsor projects with emerging artists.

The rationale behind the enterprise is to fund a project with the intention to promote the artist. Ideally there will be a product to sell to create revenue.

In addition to publishing books, the company has financed such diverse projects as zines, comics, artist designed t-shirts, installations, photo montage work, print folios, letterpress cards.

The venture has covered travel costs, reference materials, art supplies and the odd lunch.

Koyama Press is currently not taking any submissions.
