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 1 & 2 from interested artists and creatives wishing to develop their practice.

How to apply

Applications for future Resident Artists are invited by newsletter and online.
