The arts are essential to a healthy, robust society. When artists care about life's welfare and future then they speak in many ways for us all. Here at Origins, we want to collaborate and support the emergence of compassionate creativity.
Origins Centre promotes the common good through mindfulness practice, retreats, study, landcare and the arts.
Many artists are seeking to integrate their work and vision with the greater cause of a safe, just and thriving world. Many seem to have an interest in mindfulness and other practices that support them. The Origins Centre is open and compatible with this view. We want to integrate the arts more thoroughly into our culture and welcome you to apply.
We are open to all the arts from visual through movement, writing, or music. Each residency lasts from one to four weeks. Each artist gets a room, a studio in the forest, access to a workshop and access to a beautiful space with good acoustics for movement or music making. We have shared facilities for cooking, washing and ablutions: the whole package is available on a donation basis either as a financial donation and/or through a cultural contribution of an artist talk, performance or donation of an artwork. We operate on the basis of fair exchange and mutual support.
The Origins Artist Residency program started in February, 2019. It runs during the months of February, March. July, October and November. We still have availability in October and November of 2019 and have an open call out for artist to apply.
Applications for 2020 are now open for the months of February, March, July, October and November.
We are particularly seeking regional/local artists but we are very much open to interstate or international artists.
