The Bundanon Trust Artist-in-Residence program is the largest program of its kind in the country. It is open to applicants from all disciplines – including artists, writers, performers, producers, directors, composers, curators and educators – making it highly sought after by artists nationally and internationally. Residencies can be for research and development or the creation of new work.
