the farm margaret river 2026 funded residency

A leading Arts Residency program in Western Australia, offering a unique opportunity for artists to develop work that engages thoughtfully with the land.

With a specific focus on site-responsive projects, the Residency provides an immersive space for creative inquiry, fostering connections between the artist(s), environment, and community. It supports artists who are committed to rigorous research, experimentation, and dialogue—encouraging new ways of thinking about land and our relationship to it .

Now in its eighth year, The Farm’s Residency program continues to cultivate a dynamic exchange between contemporary art and Country, supporting artists who seek to push conceptual and material boundaries in response to a unique Western Australian regional setting.

The Farm Margaret River Artist in Residence program welcomes applications from Australian and international artists whose work engages with place, environment, and materiality. Proposals should demonstrate originality, thoughtful site responsivity, and a commitment to creating meaningful discourse about land and our connection to it.
