Description

Edenhope Artist Residency (EAR) is a local artist-run small business in Edenhope, Victoria, Australia.
The residency program is open to all types of artists, scientists, makers, designers, and educators looking for time and space to work on their own projects in an open-plan studio space. Each artist gets a private bedroom in a house attached to the studio shared only with the other residency participants.

Other activities held at EAR include workshops open to the local community, artist talks, and pop up exhibitions. EAR aims to engage international and local Australian artists interested in experiencing a new location with stays of between 1 and 3 months and they offer premium creative facilities including a printing press, 2 x 3D printers, large format Epson printer, access to kiln, and a heavy-duty sewing machine.

Residency applications are accepted on a rolling basis and artists and makers of all kinds are invited to apply.

Outcome

There are no creative expectations of the artists but they are invited to participate in an artist talk / presentation once a month which are private but occasionally community members may be invited. They also hold Open Days on a monthly basis where members of the public are able to visit the studio spaces. Artists are also encouraged to exhibit their work during their stay and this can be arranged on an individual basis. There are a number of locations around town that may be utilised upon arrangement.

Studio Information

Artists have 24hr access to the studio building attached to the artist's house. The studio is a shared space with each artist working at their own station equipped with a desk/bench, shelving, lighting, easel, wall space, power and internet. The studio has AC/heating, hot and cold water, and direct access to the garden, street and private entrance to the house. A conference room / library space also serves as a writers room separate to the studio. They also welcome artists that don’t require the use of a studio space.

Accommodation Information

The house accommodates up to four artists at a time, each in a private room. Kitchen, laundry and living spaces are shared and there are two shared bathrooms and two toilets. The house is available only for the resident artists and is located in the centre of town close to shops and the pub.
