Artist in Regency (AiR) Program

What is an Artist in Recency Program?

An artist-in-residence program gives artists the time, space, and resources to focus on their creative practice in a new environment. During their stay, artists often connect with the local community through open studios, public talks, or workshops, and may contribute a work created as part of the residency. These programs offer the community a unique insight into an artist’s work and creative process while inspiring others to explore their own creativity.

Grants are often a big part of this process to fund oppertunites like these into our area.

We would like to thank The Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) is a partnership between the Queensland Government and Southern Downs Regional Council to support local arts and culture in regional Queensland for the funding to make this all happen for 2026.
