Creative Spaces in collaboration with Sunshine Coast Council is excited to launch The Crows Nest Artist in Residence. Perched atop the Maroochy Sailing Club, the Crows Nest is a small space with views out across Maroochy River towards Mt Coolum. Situated on beautiful Chambers Island, accessed via a footbridge, this new creative studio could be yours, free for up to three months.
The space would suit writers, digital and fine artists and creatives with a lighter footprint. It can accommodate one person looking for inspiration and solitude or a collective of two looking to collaborate in paradise.

- A brief description of your practice
- Links to examples of your work
And answer:
- Where do you currently practice?
- What is your connection to the Sunshine Coast?

- Do you have preferred timing?
EOI open year-round. Successful applicants will be notified.

call for artists: Whitegold and Garden Projects
The Whitegold and Garden Projects aim to make creative, innovative and activated public spaces that use art and gardening to celebrate the culture of clay country, enhancing its sense of place.
Current Opportunities
The Whitegold Project wishes to commission three artists to create art in public spaces for St Austell that inspires, challenges and reflect on this unique place. Off the main tourist trail, St Austell in Cornwall is an industrial town moulded from the china clay beneath its feet and which is now looking to creatively reshape its future. The project has the people of St Austell at its heart and is a St Austell Community Interest Company not-for-profit project in partnership with local business, local authorities and cultural organisations. Other opportunities will be posted here as they come on line. To keep up to date sign up to our mailing list.
TREMEN (passage)– a small covered passageway called Grants Walk: Budget £20,000
At the start of Grant’s Walk, coming from the town centre, is a covered passageway that is an important connection into the town from one of the main car parks at Priory Rd. It joins the main street in town, Fore St, with Biddicks Court behind. A contemporary artist, maker or designer is needed to lead on its refurbishment and create art for this space that makes a positive contribution to the environment. Download the full brief:

The location is also the start of one of the main ways out of the town towards the Clay Country – the villages that sit the ridge above St Austell town. In doing so the road passes Menacuddle Well and Wheal Martyn Clayworks – a museum dedicated to the culture of clay in the area. It also connects to the Clay Trails – a network of cycle and walking routes joining together Clay Country, the Eden Project and the town.

call for submissions: Clay and Glass Artists
The Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery is currently accepting submissions from Canadian artists from all backgrounds and career levels working in clay and glass for an exhibition on the theme of Diversity and Inclusion to be presented in Fall 2021.
We are pleased to announce an open call for submissions from Canadian clay and glass artists for a group exhibition with the theme “Diversity and Inclusion.” The exhibition will coincide with the 2021 Creative City Network Summit to be hosted by the City of Waterloo. We welcome submissions from artists who broadly identify with the theme of Diversity and Inclusion in their artistic practices and experiences including, but not limited to, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, religion, and mental or physical abilities. Multi-media works and those that incorporate new media within the use of clay, glass, and copper enamelling will be considered.
The selected works will be presented in the exhibition from September 2021 to January 2022. The Gallery will provide an artist fee (as set out by CARFAC) to the selected artists and cover the costs of shipping and insurance for the duration of the exhibition.
Located in Waterloo, Ontario, the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery is Canada’s only gallery dedicated to the exhibition and collecting of contemporary Canadian clay, glass, and copper enamelling. Through exhibition programs, publications, a clay studio, and an archival centre, the Gallery supports research and creation by emerging, mid-career, and established artists. The Gallery is accessible, with the exception of exhibitions and events held in the John A. Pollock Family Courtyard, which is not fully accessible to visitors with particular mobility aids at this time.
We acknowledge that we live and work on the traditional territory of the Attawandaron, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples. The Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land promised to the Six Nations that includes ten kilometers on each side of the Grand River.
We welcome submissions from all qualified applicants and encourage submissions from groups that are typically underrepresented in institutional spaces, including racialized and Indigenous individuals, LGBTQ2S+ identifying individuals, francophone individuals, Deaf persons, and persons with disabilities. If you require any accommodations during the submissions process, please contact [email protected] or 519-746-1882.
