Origins Centre promotes good principles for 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. 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: all available on a donation basis either as a financial donation and/or through teaching a weekend course for Origins or through exhibition/recital. We operate on the basis of fair exchange and mutual support.
We are starting the Origins Artist Residency program in February, 2019. It will run during the months of February, March. July, October and November. We still have availability in March, July, October and November of 2019 and have an open call out for artist to apply.
We are particularly seeking regional/local artists but we are very much open to interstate or international artists.
