Sturt’s Artist-in-Residence program invites and attracts experienced artists practicing in ceramics, jewellery/metalwork, textiles and woodwork. We house four to six residencies each year.
We encourage small scale production and individually designed work, which may be promoted through Sturt Gallery. Professional residencies may be awarded specifically to develop a body of work which can be produced and made at Sturt during the maker’s time here.
Sturt sees the residency program as an important addition to its overall aim of providing support for Australian contemporary art and design through a program of teaching, retail, exhibition and residencies. The emphasis of the residency program is to support those who embrace this philosophy.
All residency programs are financially assisted by Friends of Sturt.
Full details can be found HERE. Deadline is OCT 31st.

Residency at Brekka
GilsfjordurArts offers an artist residency in the remote former farm house “Brekka” for Icelandic and international artists from various disciplines to engage with the landscape and connect with communities in the Westfjords.
We provide visiting artists with a dedicated space and time to create in an environment of open inquiry and free from prescribed outcomes. We encourage communal interactions in nearby communities through artists talks; projections etc between locals and visiting artists as can be arranged at the venues available.
The very remoteness and rare silence of our location offers incredible insight and energy in to the artists.
This residency is based around its great fjord and mountain location. It is all about remoteness, the fjord, sounds of natures, and being in landscape away from distraction with time to contemplate or make work. Artists will live and work on their own at the Brekka, without any staff present. You will be about 10km from the nearest rural outpost. Planning your supplies is important. This residency is not for everyone, self sufficiency and planning is essential. The residencies are timed to the rural bus schedule from Reykjavik (bus 57 and 59) about 3 1/4 hours.
2020 residency applications.
The fees for residency at Brekka runs from 700 to 900 euros per each 25 day residency depending on room choice. The shared studio fills the top floor of the farm house, bedrooms , kitchen, sitting room and bathroom, boot room, storage rooms, and laundry are on the ground floor. Artists are responsible for transport to the residency and their own food.
There is a 25 euro fee for applications please click the link and follow the instructions, all details included on 2020 application form on the Home page.

Penland’s Winter Residency program is a short-term residency opportunity for artists seeking to work independently in one of our 16 studios during Penland’s quiet season. Emerging and established artists are encouraged to apply for our 2-week and 4-week sessions. Shared studio access is provided to a small number of artists each session, inviting enough people to encourage conversation and creative camaraderie, but not so many that focused time in the studio is compromised. Our goal is to support artistic growth, experimentation, and inquiry in all media by offering artists the time, space, and equipment they need to promote professional development.
Penland Winter Residencies are for:
- Artists needing access to facilities for research and development that can be uniquely supported by Penland’s studios and equipment.
- Art educators who are seeking focused work time during a winter break or sabbatical.
- Two or more artists wanting to work collaboratively on a specific project or simply alongside one another in order to share technical expertise and/or creative inspiration. (Each member of the collaboration must apply individually.)
Full details HERE.
DEADLINE AUGUST 15th!
Also check out their website for amazing upcoming workshops by Virginia Scotchie, Arthur Gonzalez, Hitomi Shibata & Takuro Shibata, Bryan Hopkins, Suze Lindsay & Kent McLaughlin, Eleanor Anderson, Jenny Mendes, and Kurt Anderson,
