Artist in Residence Program
Vision
Our Artist in Residence program aims to provide creatives with a working studio space to develop new work, to interact with the community and to provide the community with an opportunity to see artists at work. Art Sales are not permitted through the studios, however, artists are encouraged to provide stock to the Gallery Store for purchase.
In this instance, a residency means the use of a studio space for creating works. Accommodation is not available on site.
We welcome proposals for Stable 2 from interested artists and craftspeople wishing to develop their practice.
How to apply
The Artist In Residence program is temporarily suspended until the Saltwater Complex is open.
Applications for future intakes of Resident Artists are advertised by newsletter and online.
