About
Canberra Glassworks is offering two places with the 2025 Artist in Residence (AiR) program for artists who have recently graduated university, TAFE or other training programs. This residency is for artists who have achieved significant recognition for their technical and artistic work during their studies.
The residency provides artists with a place and time for research and development, creating a new body of work, developing an idea or continuing along a theme.
Each New Graduate AiR will be provided with:
- a stipend of $500
- $500 budget to be used for mentoring
- a studio desk workspace
- access to workshop areas including use of kilns, flameworking, cold shop, hotshop and mould room
It is important to note that equipment and facilities are shared with a range of artists through a booking system. Artists must be familiar and highly skilled with the equipment that they are proposing to use and must be able to work safely and independently.
Shared accommodation in the Chapel will be provided for interstate artists. AiRs will be expected to participate in the residency on a full-time basis. Artists make a significant contribution to the cultural life of the centre. It is part of the AiRs role to engage with other artists in the centre and the
public. AiRs will be required to give a public talk/demonstration as part of their residency.
