Artist in Residence Program
This program links artists with the local community. Artists are employed to work with members of the community to create pieces of art.

In 2008/2009, the City of Darebin is looking for artists to work with people with disabilities on a site specific installation at the Northcote Town Hall for March 2009. We are also looking for organisations with participants who have disabilities to be involved in the project.

It is envisaged that the installation will utilise outdoor and indoors spaces at the Northcote Town Hall including the outside wall as projection space.

Artists from all media are encouraged to apply including multi media, visual arts, performance, music, digital, dance and literary. Collaborations between artists are welcome.

The installation will form part of the City of Darebin’s program for the Art of Difference Festival from March 10 to March 22, 2009. More information on the Art of Difference Festival can be found at www.gasworks.org.au

The total budget for the project is $6,500 which includes artist’s fees and materials.

An application form and guidelines can be downloaded here. Deadline for applications is 4pm Friday September 12, 2008.
