FJ’s Artist Residency Grant

From 22 April 2024, the FJ’s Residency Program grant will be open to application for National and International Arts Practitioners for the month of August 2024. The Residency covers all expenses from arrival, including four weeks of accommodation and a weekly allowance for costs of living. Artists must pay for any travel costs to and from Warrnambool. Artists are made welcome through a series of complimentary dinners, social nights and tours to significant sites in our region.

This residency is made possible through the generous support of the Fletcher Jones Family Foundations. For further information about Sir Fletcher and his legacy, check out this site.

The FJs Residency will have 3 individual places available; each participant will receive a bedroom and access to shared facilities including garden, kitchen, living rooms and bathrooms. Studios, workshops and gallery spaces may also be applied for.

Artists participating in this sponsored residency will have opportunities to meet new audiences through participation in public programs and open studios; commissioning of original online content such as interviews and artist profiles; and connections to our community of volunteers, peers, collaborators and supporters.

The Residency is shared, so participants will meet the two other successful Residency participants and may wish to work collaboratively. Artist cooperatives are welcome to apply.

As well as the extensive residence, there is a beautiful mature garden for artists to enjoy. Art studios, workshops, printing press and gallery spaces may also be available by arrangement.

The F Project welcomes artists from all over the world to stay in the picturesque and historical south west corner of Victoria, Australia. We live and work on the traditional lands of the Peek Whurrong and Gunditjmara people of the Maar Nation.
