The Naturemuse Ceramic Studio Arts Residency program is for practicing artists of all levels of experience and mediums who are looking to expand their practice and technical skills in the field of ceramics, while engaging in a self determined and initiated creative project (which will be outlined in the EOI). As the artist in residence you will be expected to engage in both personal and professional development opportunities in order to promote growth and fresh inspiration for your future independent practice.
The program is conducted over a one month period, which includes 2 full days studio and equipment use, accompanied by a weekly mentoring session with contemporary ceramicist and interdisciplinary artist Fiona Cuthbert O’Meara.
An EOI will be your first steps to apply for this opportunity where you will be required to outline your creative proposal for the month. You will be expected to engage in your proposed independent practice while receiving weekly mentoring.
Please complete the EOI form attached and forward to Fiona at fiona@naturemuse.com.au to be considered for this program. Spaces are limited and there is an artist contribution required for this program.
