Bundanon Trust Artist In Residence 2014 Applications close 4 August Imagine what you could do with time and space at Bundanon? Initiated in 1997, Bundanon Trust’s Artist in Residence program is the largest in Australia, welcoming more than 300 professional artists and creative thinkers each year, spanning theatre, dance, new media, visual arts, music and the written word. The program is a key part of Arthur Boyd’s vision for Bundanon: to give artists, across all disciplines, first-hand access to the rich cultural and environmental history of the Bundanon properties and to provide a platform for them to work together. Artists and creatives undertaking a residency spend up to six weeks in purpose-built studios in lush bushland on the Shoalhaven River in regional New South Wales. The program is open to artists and groups from Australia and overseas. Arthur Boyd’s extraordinary act of philanthropy continues to fuel artistic endeavours in all artforms.
