Our Artist Residency Facilities include the following:
The Art Shed
The Art Shed was built in a unique and visionary way from recycled materials, using innovative construction techniques. Its design follows environmental principles including a huge roof collecting rain water and 41 solar panels generating electricity for the whole property.
The most unique aspect of the Art Shed is its purpose built design with a complete focus on artistic practice and creative needs of future residents. It consists of:
– Six metre high Grand Hall suitable for creation of installations, making of large sculptures or staging of performances, workshops and events. It has concrete floor, brilliant ventilation, abundance of natural light, great acoustics and professional theatrical lighting.
– Film and Video Room with cinema screen and surround sound system. It can also serve as exhibition space.
– Library Room and exhibition/work space.
– Floating Mezzanine work area with stunning views and space suitable for exhibitions, lectures, workshops or yoga classes. As the Mezzanine hangs over the Grand Hall, it also provides a unique opportunity for photo and video documentation of projects.
– Four large studios, kitchen, bathroom and laundry.
The Barn
The Barn is a standalone cottage constructed from recycled timbers. It has concrete floors downstairs, excellent natural light, ventilation, power, water, and plenty of work spaces, both inside and outside under the roof. It also has mezzanine space, kitchen, bathroom, and fireplace.
The House
The mud brick hand-crafted house includes 3 bedrooms, an office, an open plan kitchen, a bathroom, a large 2 storey high living room with fireplace, and an open veranda overlooking beautiful bushland.
