Artists in Residence

Artist in Residence, The Old School Mt Wilson beauty, diversity, tranquility

The Old School

The Old School House, Mount Wilson commenced an Artist in Residence program in 2019. This is a volunteer based, not for profit organisation aiming to share the beauty, diversity and tranquility of Mount Wilson, providing an opportunity for artists to work, be supported by and engage with the local community.

The program provides residency, accommodation and studio, for one month for both emerging and established artists and suits musicians/composers, writers, visual and textile artists. 

Each resident will give a community engagement event.

Applications are now open and close Friday 31 May
for the October 2024 to June 2025 period.
There is no residency offered for April
