Applications for King Island Council’s Artist Residency Program Open 1 September 2024
The King Island Artist Residency offers Tasmanian and National professional artists working in any artform, between two to five weeks of creative time on King Island, Tasmania.
The natural beauty, relaxed lifestyle and isolation of King Island appeals to artists seeking an idyllic, inspirational environment in which to work, and has inspired those with a wide range of professional arts practices.
The residency is available to artists at any career stage in any art form and offers an opportunity for them to further develop their practice while experiencing the unique environment, history and lifestyle of King Island. Visiting artists are also invited to participate in the cultural life of King Island through informal exchanges with local artists and the community.
The residency includes free accommodation and access to a vehicle and studio while on the island.
Residencies are available for a single artist but may include one collaborator.
Applications for 2025 residencies open 1 September 2024.
The closing date for submissions 1 October 2024.
