Residencies
Our Artist in Residence programs give artists of all disciplines the time and space to develop creative projects in a supportive environment surrounded by beautiful bushland. With a range of opportunities to interact with the community and local artists, artists in residence find encouragement, rejuvenation and inspiration for their creative process.
Funded Residency
Our annual four-week residencies funded by Arts Tasmania are some of the many amazing opportunities offered to Tasmanian artists.
From performing arts and photography to environmental sculpture and ceramics, our visiting artists never fail to develop new and amazing ideas, bringing vitality and wonder to our little community as they share their process and their work.
Both emerging and professional practitioners find this opportunity enlivens them, fosters their creativity and fuels development of their practice.
