Since 2015, Artspace has provided Studios Free for Artists: year-long, rent-free studios that support artists to develop new work and methodologies in an open and critically-engaged environment.
This program is part of a 10-year vision to support 70 artists across generations — from emerging to established, and across all media — to embrace risk and experimentation in their practice.
Artspace is the only Australian organisation to provide free long-term artists studios, supported by an unparalleled partnership with UNSW Art & Design which, as well as providing access to its leading research and production facilities, generates connectivity and curatorial dialogue through our jointly presented International Visiting Curators Program.
Each year a panel comprised of Artspace staff and Board selects seven artists to take residence for one year. Selections for the studio program will be made in November, and announced publicly on 9 December at the 2017 Artspace Finissage.
Download and read the Application Guidelines before proceeding to the Application Form.
Studios Free for Artists is supported by the Future Fund for Living Artists; the New South Wales Government through Create NSW; and UNSW Art & Design.
