The Australia Council for the Arts International Residencies Program forges partnerships with some of the best residency providers in the world to deliver a suite of residencies, which are open to applications from practicing artists/arts workers who are Australian citizens/Australian permanent residents. They enable the development of individual artists, arts mediators, groups and organisations. Residency locations for 2019 include London, Rome, Beijing, Paris, Helsinki and Berlin.

Who can apply?

Only individuals and groups may apply to this category.

You must be a practicing artist or arts worker and an Australian citizen or an Australian permanent resident.

International residencies provide a unique opportunity for artists to effectively immerse themselves in a new arts context, market, community and culture. The experience enables artists to articulate their practice within a global context and build knowledge, networks and partnerships that support future international arts activity.
