WOT x CAS x AIR is back for 2024 — and our EOI is now open!

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.

Want to be an artist in residence with WOT x CAS?

This year, we’re supporting artists from the South-East to be in residence at studio spaces in Dandenong and Casey in September-November.

Who we’re looking for:

- Artists living in the South-East
- Artists identifying as Black / Indigenous / Person of Colour / Migrant / Refugee or Asylum Seeker
- Artists of any age
- Artists who are just beginning their practice, early in their journey or lacking space/opportunity to work on their art

What’s involved:

- 2-4 week residency
- White-wall small/medium studio space (either individual or shared with other artists)
- Artist stipend ($1000 for 2 weeks, $1800 for 4 weeks)
- Open studio weekend
- End of AIR exhibition/showcase
- Professional development and resources
- Connection and contribution to arts community
- Optional mentorship from peer artists
- Optional other programming we can support you to put on
