About the Residency
The Artist in Residence program provides a meaningful experience for artists, students and the broader community to extend the boundaries of creative endeavour with quality relationships fostered through collaboration and innovation.
Participants are provided with an inspiring and spacious atelier environment for the duration of their residency. They will work alongside students, as well as independently, to deliver a public outcome that will become part of the enduring legacy of the school community. This outcome can be formed in any media but must be a well-resolved and enduring work that reflects collaboration with students and community members. Artists will be invited to deliver workshops to students and talks or open studio events to the broader community throughout the residency.
Who can apply?
Pulteney Grammar School’s Artist in Residence program is open to artists of all disciplines, genres and levels of experience from Australia and overseas. Artists must be able to confidently work alongside students and staff, including in workshop and presentation settings. Artists must be eligible to work in Australia and willing to acquire a Working with Children Check (WWCC).
