Where: Sydney, Australia
When: 2011
Deadline: June 30, 2010
Artspace Studio Residencies are available via an application process to artists and other related professionals not otherwise directly involved in the Artspace Gallery Program. On average two residential and four non-residential studios are allocated across the year in this manner.
Objectives
The key objectives of the Artspace Studio Residency Program are to provide subsidised studio facilities for contemporary visual arts practitioners, curators, theorists and writers; to support the development of new work for exhibition at Artspace and elsewhere; to facilitate professional development opportunities for artists; and to foster dialogue and exchange between artists, writers, theorists and curators. As in all areas of Artspace activity the Studio Residency Program is guided by a commitment to cultural diversity and to a principle of support for artists ranging from early career to established practitioners. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists are encouraged to apply. Practitioners working in related disciplines such as craft and design are encouraged to apply, as are museums, galleries, art colleges, contemporary art, craft and design organisations and cultural support agencies. Curators, critical writers and cultural theorists are also encouraged to apply for studio residencies.
Residencies by Application
These residencies are generally offered for periods of one, three and six months. Residency lengths are negotiable, but where studio space is limited preference is given to longer-term residencies.
Residencies offered under this program do not involve gallery-based outcomes at Artspace, however artists undertaking residencies under this program may be invited to take part in other Artspace Public Program and Outreach activities. Artists undertaking residencies for six weeks or more will have an opportunity to present their work to Artspace curatorial staff for discussion and may have opportunity to give a public presentation of their work via the open studio program (artists visiting from outside Sydney will be given priority in the open studio program).
Successful applicants are charged a subsidised studio rental. The base rates for 2011 are $350 per week for a residential studio (overseas artists and organising agencies); $250 per week for a residential studio (Australian artists and organising agencies); and $75 per week for non-residential studios. Please note that there is no stipend or living allowance attached to these residencies. Successful applicants will be responsible for all other costs associated with the residency including travel costs, insurance, materials and equipment and will be required to pay a refundable bond of $300 prior to occupancy to cover any costs associated with damage or extraordinary cleaning. Interstate and overseas artists in particular will need to consider other sources of income to fund their visit.
