The Arts are essential to a healthy and robust society. When artists can freely engage with practices that develop well-being and insight they can help sustain the vision and atmosphere needed for a thriving world. Here at Origins, we want to support the creative nature of humanity in the ways that we can. By making mindfulness, meditation, yoga and other nourishing practices available to artists we hope their work can be coupled with good mental health, optimism and respect.
The Origins Artist Residency program is open to emerging and experienced artists of all ages and disciplines.
Each residency lasts from one to four weeks. Each artist gets a private room with power for accommodation, a cabin in the forest for a studio (two have no power, one does have power), access to a workshop and to a beautiful space with great acoustics for movement or music making. We have shared facilities for cooking, washing and ablutions. We ask for a payment of $20 per night (to cover accomodation costs) and a cultural contribution of an artist talk, performance or donation of an artwork. Often the artist will cover their accommodation costs by holding a workshop, with all donations from the workshop going directly to the artist.
Applications for 2020 are now open.
We are particularly seeking regional/local artists but we are very much open to interstate or international artists.
The Application process is simple. Just email our Artist Residency Manager, Timbo Roberts, at timbo.origins@gmail.com with a proposal.
This proposal should include:
Anne Clark is a Co-Director at the Origins Centre and teacher of pottery and mindfulness. We have a purpose built, fully equipped cabin with attached studio and kilns that are available. Inquire through Anne via origins@iinet.net.au.
Timbo Roberts is the Artist In Residence Coordinator and living onsite at the Origins Centre in 2020. He is a practicing multidisciplinary artist working mostly in electronic music and visual art.
We look forward to hearing from you.
