Bundanon Residency call for artist
In partnership with the Bundanon Trust, Accessible Arts is providing an artist in residency opportunity for a NSW artist with disability. The residency is now in its third year and invites artists practicing in dance, theatre, visual arts, design, media arts, film and literature to apply.
The successful applicant will undertake the 4-week residency in March 2012 and receive a $3000 stipend.
Daniel Kojta, media artist and 2010 residency recipient said:
"As an artist with a disability, it was refreshing to be working within a community where physical position was without relevance. This environment focused on the creative development of each artist, both benefiting from the remote location separated from the concerns of contemporary existence and the shared intention of each participant to immerse oneself in the creative endeavors proposed".
Applications close Wednesday 22 June 2011.
