The young artists featured bring a unique creative identity leading to a rich and dynamic exhibition of work. As participants in the Gatherings program, these young people will become gatherers of knowledge about the place where they live, its people and its stories. With a mixture of field trips on Country and sessions with amazing local artists the project aims to stimulate, nurture and support students in growing their arts practice. They will be co-creators, shaping the project from documentation through to exhibition. They will learn, develop and grow their artistic capital to new heights and possibilities. Their work spans photography, costume design, sculpture and painting. As part of the community outreach Arts Funding, M16Artspace has put together a program for aspiring Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander artists. Up to 12 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander participants from years 11 and 12 will be selected to participate in the program throughout 2019. The 12 Indigenous students with an interest in becoming professional artists will be selected through a call out process from schools and CIT. The activity invests in long-term relationship building with these young people and creates opportunities to strengthen bonds with like-minded others. They will come together under the guidance, support and resourcing from M16Artspace. Students will be immersed in a safe and respectful environment offering innovative, diverse arts experiences throughout 2019. They will be mentored by a range of artists, including a number from M16Artspace, across a range of artistic disciplines from street art to sculpture. We aim to stimulate, nurture and support students in growing their arts practice. They will be co-creators shaping the project from documentation through to exhibition. They will learn, develop and grow their artistic capital, through listening and doing. Working individually and collaboratively they will build art skills and grow knowledge, initiating trust pathways and building confidence over the long haul. They will access unparalleled mentorship opportunities from some of Australia’s most well-known and exhibited Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists including Jenni Kemarre Martiniello, Byrd and Hanna Hoyne. On the way, these young artists will gather information, support and stimuli from various sources. Experiences will range from sharing the stories of community Elders and Indigenous artists to gaining insights on techniques used across artistic mediums, including photography, painting, objects and sculpture. As well as weekly out-of-school, creative stimulus sessions, including at M16Artspace studios, students will be offered the opportunity to participate in an Artists Camp on country. As participants, these young people will become gatherers of knowledge about the place where they live, its people and its stories. Their exposure to some of the best artistic talent in this country will expand their artistic horizons to the possibilities of art as a vehicle for transforming lives. The program will consist of after school time slots in studios as well as a variety of weekends throughout the year for tours and field trips. The tours will take place at the National Gallery of Australia and the National portrait gallery and the field trips will be guided in different culturally significant locations around Canberra as well as an overnight camp during school holidays.

This studio has long been dedicated as a space to help establish emerging artists, curators and arts writers. Narrabundah Family Medical Practice will provide two emerging artists with the opportunity to develop their artistic practices in a supportive and professional environment. The residencies are awarded to two graduates from the ANU, as part of the ANU Emerging Artists Support Scheme and in 2020, Kristina Newman and Antoinette Kartsten are the awardees. In 2016, the estate of the late Pete Smith generously donated $2600 to fund M16’s Emerging Artist Residency Program. The recipients were Clare Solomon, a mixed media artist; and Mei Wilkinson, who specializes in painting and mixed media. If you are interested in supporting the studio program or the exhibition program at M16 Artspace please contact the Director, Jas Hugonnet on (02) 6295 9438 and/or email: director@m16artspace.com Here’s what Romany Fairall had to say about her residency with us in 2018………Being awarded a residency at Studio 22 was exactly what I needed as a freshly graduated emerging artist. Having a work space kept me grounded whilst navigating the post-art school world, and allowed me to continue the creative momentum I gained during my Honours year. 24 hour access to the studio meant I could paint around my casual jobs, or whenever I was itching to make something. A studio made preparing for exhibitions much smoother, and introduced me to new artists and creative opportunities. Studio 22 truly helped me find my footing in the art world, and I am infinitely grateful for the support and extended opportunities it has afforded me. image: Studio view of studio 22- artist- Mei Wilkinson- July 2017. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/556d0b07e4b01193234409e0/t/5e4dd8362d11b67b4e0a9fe7/1581484217310/ M16 ARTSPACE - Studio Artists 1 Annika Romeyn 2 Carmel McCrow 4 Val Gee 5a Angela Bakker 5b Sarah Murphy 6 Marje Seymour 7 Tony Curran 8 Ursula Frederick 9 Peter McLean 10 Phil Page 11 Fiona Little 12 Jodie Cunningham 13 Robin Setchell 14a David Hempenstall 14b Mark Mohell 15 Bronwynne Jones 16 Sanne Koelemij 17 Hanna Hoyne 18 Di Broomhall 19 Derek O'Connor 20 Sara Wurcker 21 Rose Montebello 23 Kerry Johns 24 Meelan Oh 25 Kerry Shepherdson 26 Katharine Campbell 27 Andrea McCuaig 28 Elizabeth Faul Lightbox studios 1 Kate Vassallo 2 James Lieutenant https://static1.squarespace.com/static/556d0b07e4b01193234409e0/t/5d23dd230727e20001a6bbef/1562631478938/IMG_6329.jpg M16 ARTSPACE https://static1.squarespace.com/static/556d0b07e4b01193234409e0/t/5d24106f93429e0001b29297/1550034187388/ M16 ARTSPACE - CANBERRA ART WORKSHOP The Canberra Art Workshop has a long-standing reputation within the ACT for providing practical and affordable opportunities for the community to develop and practice their interest in the visual arts.
