Applications Now Open For 2022
This program creates an opportunity for one creative artist each year to experience time and space away from their usual environment and obligations. The Residency provides a time of reflection, research, presentation and production, allowing an individual to explore their practice within our community, to meet new people, use new materials, and experience life in the College setting. We emphasise the importance of meaningful and multi-layered cultural exchange and immersion into our culture.
We offer residency at St Andrew’s College for a period of 10 months (1 April 2022 – 1 Feb 2023). The residency offers a double bedroom with ensuite, shared kitchenette and laundry, as well as full access to College facilities and programs. These include communal dining with three meals per day, practice rooms, performances spaces, shared study spaces, a gym, oval and tennis courts. Please note parking and private self-contained studio/workshop space is not available. The residency is only available to one person.
Conditions and Selection
Artists in Residence are expected to be strongly involved in our community, as well as having time to focus on your own practice. There are three main requirements for the residency:
- create a new body of work (e.g. a major performance/series of performances, new creative work, or research presentation);
- engage with and contribute to the residential college community (e.g. hold workshops, give presentations, provide coaching);
- curate a community engagement program which connects the College with the wider community (e.g. perform at local hospitals or for local not-for-profits; invite non-College members to the College to work with you or witness/engage with your work).
Applications are open to artists from all genres, including but not limited to: ceramics, dance, film-making, literature, music, new media, performing arts, photography, printmaking, sculpture, textile art, theatre and visual art.
While this residency is open to all practising artists, it generally suits emerging artists and recent graduates, especially those seeking to live away from home for the first time, or artists who are visiting Sydney for an extended period to work on a particular project. Artists from all disciplines are welcome to apply, although we are particularly interested in disciplines not yet represented in the program (disciplines of previous recipients include music and conceptual art).
Application
Applications close 5pm Friday 18 March 2022.
Please submit your application online: Artist in Residence 2022 application.
