215 Magill is home to a range of practising artists and makers, showcasing the best in South Australian-made furniture, art and design. Located in Maylands, there is a full machine shop for woodwork in addition to the studio space.
“The potential collaboration with Saul Scanlon was completely unexpected, and only happened due to the exposure I’ve gained by being based at 215 Magill. Working here has genuinely helped me to expand my network and meet other people in creative industries.”
Lauren Downton, 215 Magill 2024 Resident
The residency at 215 Magill provides an eligible emerging South Australian artist with a unique 12-month studio residency. This studio opportunity at 215 Magill will provide you with the critical time, space, and freedom to evolve your practice, create new work, expose you to the creative community, and skill share.
You will have access to a full range of equipment and tools that may not have been available to you before. The dedicated studio can enable you to expand your practice by experimenting with new materials and techniques or just simply having the physical space to work on larger-scale pieces. Your practice and career will be developed throughout the entire residency as you are immersed in a busy, productive studio and workshop, with engaged fellow artists.
The selected 215 Magill resident will also be offered a solo exhibition with the City of Norwood Payneham and St Peters Council at The Gallery. The exhibition will take place during the Fringe Festival the year following the residency.
The 215 Magill residency will appeal to artists working across a wide range of mediums.
The selected artist will be awarded a shared studio space, rent-free for 12 months. The studio has 24-hour access, security and WIFI.
Interested applicants are welcome to join a studio tour on Thursday 12 September at 2:00pm. Email info@helpmannacademy.com.au to register your interest!
This opportunity is generously supported by Mark Jones of Ferguson George and 215 Magill.
WHY APPLY?
A residency provides you with a dedicated studio space outside of your usual surroundings. For the term of the residency, you will have time and space for reflection and experimentation as you delve deeper into your practice, create new work, meet other artists, and be exposed to a community of creative practitioners outside of your regular network. By meeting other artists and makers, you will be exposed to new ideas and ways of working as you share more than just equipment.
