ARTIST IN RESIDENCE - CENTRAL GREENOUGH

The Artist in Residence Program provides successful applicants the opportunity to work and live in Central Greenough, in a National Trust building situated in a peaceful and historical setting, 20kms south of Geraldton, WA. The Teachers Quarters, Central Greenough has undergone a major interior refit during 2006/2007. All furniture and fixtures are brand new, with freshly painted walls, new linen and home wares. The Quarters is fully self contained with; fully equipped kitchen, laundry, bedroom, lounge room and bathroom.

Residencies will be offered to successful applicants for a period of 3-6 weeks between October 2007 and July 2008. Residencies after July 2008 will roll into our 2008/09 applications.

Resident artists will have the use of the Teachers quarters and surrounding buildings by negotiation. The surrounding grounds of the Central Greenough settlement can also be utilised. Artists must supply their own food and reimburse Council for any utility costs such as gas and electricity.

As this is a public program resident artist will be required to create and deliver community engagement activities. These may be in the form of: artist talks, community workshops, master classes for local artist, exhibition or other activity i.e. poetry reading that is agreed upon before commencement of residency. Community activity may take place on site or at another local venue that is appropriate.
