Artist-in-Residence Program

Collaboration with artists is central to the idea of creating great tapestry art and over the years, the Australian Tapestry Workshop has worked with many leading Australian and international artists.

Previous artists who have taken up residence include Peter Atkins, Louise Weaver, Sebastian Di, Mauro, Stephen Wickham and most recently Melinda Harper.

You can listen to interviews with Lorraine Biggs and Annette Iggulden, two of our artists who took up residency at the Workshop in 2011, right here.

 

Interested in becoming an artist-in-residence?

The artist-in-residence program invites artists to immerse themselves in the unique studio environment of the Workshop for 2-8 weeks, full or part-time. Applications for 2013 residencies will open in late 2012 / early 2013.

The residency is not restricted to purely visual artists - we welcome artists in any medium, and at any stage of their career, whether emerging or established.  The Workshop offers studio space but is not able to offer accommodation or financial support. 

For further information and enquiries about the program, contact Sara Lindsay on 9699 7885 or slindsay@austapestry.com.au.
