ARTIST IN RESIDENCE - PARLIMENT HOUSE

Australian visual artists are being encouraged to apply for the Australian Parliament House Artist-in-Residence program. This unique opportunity gives artists rare behind-the-scenes access to the nation’s Parliament House, where politics, history, architecture and art come together in one of Australia’s most iconic buildings.

Parliament House is full of inspiration at every turn. From more than 6,000 artworks and 23 hectares of gardens to around 2,500 clocks and Hansard records dating back to 1901, the successful artist will have the chance to immerse themselves in the stories and spaces that shape our democracy.

The successful applicant will receive:

• a $10,000 artist’s fee for the research stage
• a commission fee of up to $30,000 for new work
• travel and accommodation support of up to $15,000
• access to a dedicated workspace within the Parliamentary Library.
