Do you want to be an artist in residence?

05 May 2026

The City of Stirling has delivered an artist-in-residence program every two years since 2021, supporting 15 artists to date.

Now in its fourth iteration, the program gives artists a space to explore their practice while activating community spaces and inspiring our residents.

The City is calling for proposals from artists seeking to deepen and extend their practice through an immersive, site-responsive residency. Artists are encouraged to respond to a nominated studio location, engaging with the place, its history, geography, character and community.

Open to artists across disciplines, the artist-in-residence program runs for nine weeks from 20 July to 27 September and includes a residency stipend and materials allowance.

Applications close at 5.00pm on Monday 18 May 2026.
