The Farm 2027 Residency Australia

The Farm is calling for applications from national and international visual artists for an 8-week residency in Western Australia, to be undertaken between February and November 2027.

Located on a rural property in the south west of Western Australia, known as Wadandi Country, the Arts Residency programme is offering an opportunity for artists to develop work that engages thoughtfully with the land. The residency will be awarded to an artist who demonstrates a strong creative practice, whose work will both enhance engagement and awareness of the area and benefit their own professional career. The programme supports the artist to develop ambitious work in direct response to environmental, ecological, agricultural and/or the cultural context.
