APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN FOR ARTIST IN RESIDENCE AT CANBERRA GLASSWORKS 2025
CLOSES MON 17 FEB 2025 AT 5PM
About
In 2025 Canberra Glassworks is offering two places within our residency program for established artists. The Artist in Residency (AiR) program is for artists who have achieved significant recognition for their technical and artistic work. The residency provides artists with a place and time for research and development, creating a new body of work, developing a particular idea or continuing along a theme using glass.
AiRs will be provided with a stipend of $1,000, a designated workspace, use of kilns, flameworking, coldshop, hotshop, neon area and mould room. A limited material allowance is available based on project requirements and can be used to purchase raw materials required for the duration of the residency. Artists must be skilled with the equipment that they are proposing to use and be able to work independently in the studio. We encourage artists new to glass to contact us before applying.
Share accommodation in The Chapel can be provided for interstate artists depending on availability. Equipment and facilities are shared with a range of artists through a booking system.
AiRs will be expected to participate in the residency on a full-time basis for the duration of four to six weeks. Participants in this program make a significant contribution to the cultural life of the Glassworks. It is part of the AiR role to engage with other artists and the public. They are
expected to give a public talk/demonstration at the conclusion of their residency.
Residencies are 4 weeks in duration and must be undertaken between February and December 2025.
