Talking water: artists-in-residence is a series of residencies within Canberra’s National Park and Nature Reserve, a public forum, an exhibition, and a catalogue drawing together the arts, heritage and the environment, which promotes and showcases Canberra’s distinct natural and cultural landscape. The program is presented by Craft ACT: Craft and Design Centre in partnership with the Rural District Parks, Conservation and Land and supported by ACTEW Corporation. In 1908 the Yass-Canberra area was selected for the nation’s capital as it best filled the requirements with regard to adequate water supply, climate and landform suitable for the building of a ‘garden city’. Through discussion, engagement and interpretation, Talking water: artists-in-residence will draw attention to sustainability and Canberra’s water catchment areas. An exhibition featuring work inspired by the artist’s time spent living in the National Park or Nature Reserve, and in response to the theme, Talking water, will be held in the Centre’s gallery in March 2013, coinciding with the centenary of Canberra celebrations. Craft ACT: Craft and Design Centre is calling for expressions of interest from individual craft practitioners and designer makers, to undertake a residency as part of the Talking water: artists-in-residence project. Members, as well as local and national craft practitioners and designer makers are invited to apply. Three residency placements will be offered to Craft ACT: Craft and Design Centre members. Group applications are not accepted. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are encouraged to apply. Four residencies, two in April and two in September, are being offered. Two residencies at each of the huts is available at Gudgenby Ready-Cut Cottage in the Namadgi National Park and Nil Desperandum Homestead in the Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve. The Centre will provide a stipend of $ 1,000.00 for each artist-in-residence. Artists are responsible for all costs associated with the residency including travel. Applicants are strongly encouraged to attend the information day on Saturday 10 March, 2012. The information day is an opportunity for applicants to visit the residency sites, and to hear first hand from Park Rangers about the area and the guidelines for staying in the National Park or Nature Reserve.
