Environmental Artist Residency
About
The M16 Artspace Environmental Artist Residency offers a unique opportunity for an artist to develop their creative practice while addressing questions of environmental sustainability.
The residency supports an artist to develop and exhibit new artworks that critically engage with the questions and challenges of sustainability today, aiming to platform creative practice as a site through which art can play a role in exploring and addressing key challenges of our time.
The residency aims to encourage socially engaged practice that connects with the local community in the creation, presentation or discussion of artworks. This can take many forms but may include participatory formats or public programs such as artist talks, reading groups, workshops, demonstrations and panel discussions.
The M16 Artspace Environmental Artist Residency is awarded to an artist from the ACT region of any background or career stage, who is provided with a $3000 scholarship, a nine-month residency at M16 Artspace with 24/7 studio access, and a four-week exhibition slot. Importantly, the residency connects the recipient with the vibrant M16 studio artist community for support and collaboration throughout the residency.
The 2024 M16 Artspace Environmental Artist Residency is supported by the generous sponsorship of Canberra business ConceptSix.
