Artist-in-Residence

The Artist in Residence program is based at Billilla Historic Mansion at 26 Halifax Street, Brighton, a beautiful heritage property incorporating a stately garden and the magnificent historic house.

At the rear of Billilla are the servants' quarters which comprise three separate rooms converted into day studios. The fourth is the coach house. These four residencies are available and are offered to successful applicants for 12 months from July to June annually. Applications are now invited from visual artists, writers, composers and multimedia artists. Applications for the 2012 - 2013 program are now closed. We will be inviting applications for the 2013 -2014 program in early 2014.

Overview

Bayside has long been associated with the Arts and has a rich cultural heritage. In keeping with this tradition Council has developed an artist-in-residence program, which aims to add value to Bayside’s cultural programs and to the broader community.
The intention is also to forge a place for creative dialogue between artists and facilitate the creation of culture via the development of new works. The Artist-in-Residence program will consolidate actions within the Bayside Cultural Action Plan and add value to the following programs:

  • Bayside Literary Festival
  • Bayside Film Festival
  • Bayside Arts and Cultural Centre
  • Resonance Music Series A
  • ARTrium Exhibition Space
  • Enquiries
