Helpmann Residencies
A residency provides you with a dedicated studio space outside of your usual surroundings. For the term of the residency, you will have time and space for reflection and experimentation as you delve deeper into your practice, create new work, meet other artists, and be exposed to a community of creative practitioners outside of your regular network. By meeting other artists and makers, you will be exposed to new ideas and ways of working as you share more than just equipment.
Each year residency opportunities are offered to local and international emerging artists.
2024 KEY DATES
- 215 Magill – applications close Sunday 13 October
- British School at Rome – applications close Sunday 1 December
