ART ON THE MOVE partners with organisations across Western Australia to deliver the Artists in Residence Program.
Our core stream of artist residencies provides funding for West Australian artists to live, work, and undertake a significant creative project in a regional location. During each residency, artists are invited to activate local collections while contributing to the community through workshops, public events and exhibitions.
Other supported residencies launching in 2025 will provide opportunities for regionally based artists to travel to Boorloo (Perth) to further develop their practice and engage in creative exchange.
