R|Artist Residency: Noosa Natural Ecologies offers mid-career to senior artists the opportunity to create new work inspired by the natural environment of the Noosa region with a focus on integrating new technologies.
This residency is ideal for artists working at the intersection of art, technology, and the environment, particularly those exploring how creative practice can contribute to ecological conservation, regeneration, and community engagement.
R|Artist Residency: Sub Tropic is a 20-week artist residency designed for early-career creative practitioners. It offers studio space, operational support, opportunities to build a profile, and a materials budget of $1,200.
The Refinery is offering two residencies in 2025:
1 March – 14 July
15 July – 30 November
March - July 2025
July - November 2025
R|Artist Residency: Urban Ecologies is open to mid-career and senior creative practitioners interested in critically applying new, sustainable technologies in their practice with a focus on the built environment.
Across five months, the selected artist will develop a new body of work and have access to UniSC resources including the Maker Space, the first MIT-accredited Fab Lab in Queensland, the CAVE2, a powerful visualisation tool that can immerse its audience in visual and audio content, and have access to the Creative Ecologies Research Cluster and its associated network of practitioners and researchers.
