Two pop-up residency spots have opened up here in the WTS TAiR Studio. 

These residency places are open to artists local to Mparntwe or based anywhere in Australia, during the following timeframes – 

Period 1: 1-31 May

Period 2: 1-20 June

Apply as an individual or a duo or even as a collective! 

In your application, please select which time period you prefer.

We’re also open to artists taking up the full 7 weeks if creating collaboratively / in a duo or group.

Are you an artist from Mparntwe who wants to invite a collaborator to town? Are you a duo or collective looking for a space to develop your work? 

This is the perfect opportunity to make it happen.


Artists are asked to respond to the theme ‘Reply 2 Me’.

This might be through:

  • working collaboratively with another artist/non-artist

  • responding to another resident’s TAiR journal/documentation 

  • artists in each residency exploring similar themes and ideas

  • or working in similar (or opposing) mediums

  • residents in each period texting/emailing back and forth

Open to all mediums: painters, ceramicists, writers, linguists, poets, actors, dancers, sound artists, designers, illustrators – all the thinkers and doers. 

Includes a $750 artist stipend (per residency).

It’s coming up quick! So get in fast.

Applications close in 10 days – midnight Friday 18 April.

Successful applicant notified: Tuesday 22 April
