πŸ“πŸ“ Residency Project EOIs CLOSING SOON πŸ“πŸ“

πŸ“© Project EOIs for Aug-Dec '26 close THIS FRIDAY
Due Friday June 26th 5pm AEST

These artist-led residencies provide an opportunity for creators of new work to explore, play, and experiment without boundaries. We will make our venue, Antipodes HQ in South Melbourne, available for one- or two-week residencies throughout the year.

Our residencies are artist-led and include access to space and equipment in-kind (no artist or hire fees are included as part of residencies). We will work with artists to establish the best schedule for the residency based on venue and artist availability, then artists will be inducted to access and close up the work space on their own.

🏷️ All projects going through the Residency program are then able to book Antipodes HQ at a DISCOUNTED RATE for further self-led developments or potential rehearsal periods if continuing into production. The exact rate will be determined on a case-by-case basis. Perfect for those targeting a Melbourne Fringe production!
