Artists in residence
Introduction
The Association, through the Artist-in-Residence Program, seeks to enhance the vitality of an artistic working environment and encourage greater involvement of members and the public through workshops, exhibitions, demonstrations and other activities.
Background
The Strathnairn Arts Association is a self funded organisation of artists from a range of disciplines that provides some studio and workshop facilities, equipment (including a significant range of ceramic kilns) and two gallery spaces for hire. Studio facilities and a self contained residence may be available for short term use under the visiting artist program. The facilities are situated in a rural setting of 25 acres approximately 15 minutes drive from Canberra's CBD. The rural setting and gardens have a range of outdoor spaces for possible artistic use.
