About

Bundanon opens applications for the 2025 Artists in Residence program. 

Bundanon’s Artist in Residence program is the largest of its kind in Australia and spans the organisation’s thirty-year history. The program grows year-on-year and is structured through a series of partnerships with leading arts organisations and companies, cultural agencies and benefactors.  

Bundanon supports all art forms through its residency program, nurturing the creation of new work, and providing a tranquil environment devoid of urban distractions, noise and light pollution, to support critical thinking and creative production. The major Artists in Residence program is for visual and performing arts, literature, dance and music, and environmental and scientific research. It provides important career opportunities for artists and researchers to develop their work in an inspiring environment. Artists and researchers are hosted in purpose-built studios and rehearsal spaces on the organisation’s secluded Homestead site in Shoalhaven, New South Wales.  

The Artists in Residence program is open to anyone seeking dedicated time in a supportive environment to nurture their creative practice. It is open to artists of all disciplines, genres and levels of experience from Australia and overseas. Individuals, groups and organisations are all welcome to apply.

The program at Bundanon is designed to provide artists with dedicated time and space for their creative practice. It’s important to note that the program is not outcome-based, meaning successful applicants are not required to complete a specific project by the end of their residencies.
