The Lock-Up’s nationally renowned Artist in Residence provides onsite accommodation for artists, curators and other creatives to create and develop new work, allowing practitioners time for experimentation and to push the boundaries of their practice.
Residencies are between 2 – 12 weeks depending on the needs of the artist and the particular nature of their residency.
Research and production residencies undertaken by key creatives with The Lock-Up’s artistic program enable site specific responses and creative development processes that encourage deeper engagement with our community and cultural networks.
Please note: The Lock-Up does not offer living allowances or travel bursaries as part of this residency program.
