Bundanon
A place for research, creativity, and connection to living cultures.
The Bundanon Artists in Residence program is the largest program of its kind in Australia and offers artists from multiple creative disciplines the opportunity to immerse themselves in a unique natural and cultural environment. Located in New South Wales, Australia, Bundanon provides residencies to visual artists, writers, musicians, dancers, and other creatives. The program aims to foster creativity, experimentation, and collaboration by providing dedicated time and space for artists to focus on their work free from the distractions of everyday life.
The Bundanon Artists in Residence program is not outcome-based, meaning you’re not required to complete a specific project by the end of your residency or partake in any public programs. Your time in residence is yours to use as you see fit to nurture your creative endeavours.
The Artists in Residence Complex offers housing options for up to 10 individuals, featuring single and shared apartments and self-contained cottages. Larger group residencies take place in the Boyd Education Centre, which can accommodate up to 32 individuals.
The Artists in Residence Complex provides purpose-built studio spaces tailored to various creative disciplines. You can view the studios and their facilities here.
All accommodation and studios are equipped with Wi-Fi. A range of equipment is available to support your creative practice during your residency, including pianos, sound production equipment, printing presses, easels, data projectors, silversmith and jeweller tools and machinery, and whiteboards.
Bundanon is located in the rural and remote landscape of Illaroo, on the South Coast of NSW, approximately a 3-hour drive from both Sydney and Canberra. The property spans 1,000 hectares and includes a wildlife sanctuary, a historic homestead, a contemporary art museum, and the Artists in Residence Complex.
