Scott Trevelyan awarded Bundanon Studio Residency
Accessible Arts in partnership with Bundanon Trust have awarded a month long residency to Alstonvale based master printmaker and art facilitator Scott Trevelyan. Applications from artists with a disability for the residency included visual artists, performance artists, film and theatre scriptwriters and a poet.
A selection panel was formed in response to the art forms and project proposals for each applicant. The panel included Christopher Cyrill - novelist, short story writer and playwright who works for the Literature unit of the Australia Council, Glenn Barkley - curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sarah Tracton - writer and filmmaker and Sarah-Jane Rennie – Manager of Sector Development at Museums and Galleries NSW and Accessible Arts board member.
Accessible Arts worked with Bundanon Trust to create this opportunity for an artist with a disability to undertake the artist in residence program at Bundanon. Artists from all disciplines and from all over the world use Bundanon residencies to reflect on their practice and find new inspiration in the landscape where Arthur Boyd explored and revitalised his own art practice. Boyd gifted Bundanon to the Australia people to provide an inspirational haven for artists of all disciplines and at all stages in their careers.
Thanks to the Bundanon Trust, Accessible Arts and the Disability Council of NSW who provided an access audit of Fern Studio where the residency will take place, an artist with a disability will also experience the benefits of a residency at Bundanon. Scott will use the residency to interpret the entity of the landscape through printmaking for upcoming exhibitions. View his previous works.
