Artist in Residence

Bayside has long been associated with the arts and has a rich cultural heritage. In keeping with this tradition Council has developed an artist-in-residency program, which aims to add value to Bayside’s cultural programs and to the broader community.

The intention is also to forge a place for creative dialogue between artists and facilitate the creation of culture via the development of new works.

This artist-in-residency provides free studio tenancy and ameneties to the awarded artist for the duration of the year. The tenancy will commence in July 2009 and conclude in July 2010.

This is a post tertiary residency program aimed at emerging and established artists who are developing a career in the Arts. Applications were invited from visual artists, multimedia practitioners and writers.

The 2009 Artist in Residence Program will consolidate actions within the Bayside Cultural Action Plan and add value to the following programs:

Bayside Literary Festival
Bayside Film Festival
Arts and Cultural Centre (Brighton Town Hall)
Resonance Music Series
ARTrium

Applications for the 2009 Artist in Residence Program have now closed and are currently being assessed.
