Australia – Thailand Institute launches Artist-in-Residency program
The Australia -Thailand Institute (ATI) is pleased to announce its inaugural Artist-in-Residency Program. This annual program will support innovative projects that promote cultural awareness with the aim of creating long term relationships between artists and organisations in Thailand and Australia.
The residency in visual arts, writing and performing arts will be open to both Thai and Australian artists over the age of 18, with a proven art practice of at least three years. The residency can include professional development via workshops, forums, collaborations, and/or the development/completion/presentation of a new body of work.
A maximum of $10,000 AUD is available annually under this program to fund at least one full-time artist-in-residency for a period of 4-12 weeks. The ATI may fund more than one artist-in-residency per year where funding allows.
The ATI’s artist-in-residency program allows applicants to choose from three possible options: a self-initiated residency in which the applicant identifies the host organisation; a Thai based residency at ComPeung - Chiang Mai Province; or an Australian based residency at the Darwin Visual Arts Association or the Northern Territory (NT) Writers’ Centre.
To apply applicants must submit an online grant submission to the ATI www.dfat.gov.au/ati. Submissions are invited from 1 September – 30 September.
Successful applicants are expected to commence their arts residency between 1 November and 30 June.
