Country Arts SA in partnership with SA
Power Networks and with support from Arts SA is pleased to announce two new residency
opportunities; one for a South Australian artist and one for a Limestone Coast
artist at Sir Robert Helpmann Theatre, Mount Gambier.
The Sir Robert Helpmann Theatre
residency is intended to attract artists who can re-energise traditional spaces
in non-traditional ways: we encourage artists to look at all the spaces that
make up the theatre and create contemporary work in any medium that would be
unexpected, that opens the public’s eyes and minds to seeing the spaces in new
ways, taking inspiration from the character of the local community and
environment.
The two artists selected to take part in the residency program, will also be participants in the Land Arts of Limestone Coast Retreat, find out more about the retreat here.
One residency will take place in the
lead up to the retreat (October) and the other immediately after the retreat (November).
An expected outcome of both residencies will be to create a new work for
display at the Sir Robert Helpmann Theatre.
Artists working across a broad range
of media are encouraged to apply.
