Artist-in-Residence Program

Craft + Design Canberra and ACT Parks & Conservation Service since 2006

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Craft + Design Canberra manages this acclaimed Artist-in-Residence program and collaborates with arts organisations, educational institutions and national cultural institutions, and industry. Through these linkages we create opportunities for artists and designers to develop and maintain successful professional practices.

For over ten years, Craft + Design Canberra has collaborated with the ACT Parks and Conservation Service to offer residencies for artists to translate the beautiful and infinitely variable qualities of both craft and nature to the contemporary world. Held annually at Namadgi Gudgenby Ready-Cut Cottage, the residency brings stillness, solitude and space to artists and culminates in an exhibition at Craft + Design Canberra.
