Edenhope Artist Residency

Planning your application

Applications are typically open year-round, with selection made by a small committee of artists and local stakeholders. Prospective applicants should propose a project that can be advanced in a rural setting, though there is no requirement for a finished outcome. The residency is self-directed, so a clear sense of how you will use the time—whether for research, production, or rest—is valued. Include a concise artist statement, a project outline (if applicable), and a realistic budget. Given the limited number of places, early applications are encouraged. The residency does not provide formal studio assistance or technical support, so artists should be self-sufficient. A modest fee applies, but sliding-scale and fee-waiver options are available; ask directly. Above all, demonstrate a genuine interest in engaging with the local community and the surrounding landscape, as this is central to the residency's ethos.
