✨Calling all artists in the South East!✨
Our inaugural Artists in Residence (AIR) program is back for 2022! Expressions of interest are now open for our PAID artist in residence program.
Run by Way Over There (WOT) Collective and Connection Arts Space (CAS), this year’s AIR offers a residency opportunity to four artists who have a connection to the South-East suburbs of Naarm (Melbourne). The program includes a 10-day studio residency surrounded by gardens, financial and social support for artists throughout their residency period, open studio days, artist talks and a group exhibition to showcase what the artists have worked on.
WOT x CAS x AIR is fundamentally diverse, championing marginalised artists and art-making and inviting new approaches to creative practice. The AIR is centred on the experience of being ‘Way Over There’ in the South-East, reimagining where and how creativity emerges.
To apply, please fill out our expression of interest form. Let us know why you want to be a part of this residency and feel free to upload any supporting written material such as a proposal or idea that you want to explore or a bit more about your practice or yourself as an artist.
Submissions close at 11:59PM on 3 May. We look forward to hearing from you!

Myriad group exhibition
MYRIAD brings together many artists local to Naarm, and specifically the South East, who are doing all different kinds of things, with very different perspectives, life experiences, goals and aims. The variance of objects and artworks in this exhibition can be seen as different pieces to a puzzle, coming together more cohesively as part of this collective and community; a greater semblance of a unit.
