National Artist in Residence 2013 – 2016
Please note: the National Artist in Residence program is no longer accepting applications.
Our National Artist in Residence program provided Australian artists residing outside the Northern Territory with the opportunity to further develop their work while located in Alice Springs. The residency period of up to six weeks falls during August and September, and encourages the development of a specific project of artistic enquiry that is inspired by the region.
