The Australian World Heritage Residency from Creative Australia offers three (3) self-directed residencies for Australian artists or collectives to work on-site at a World Heritage site within Australia.

Through deep engagement with place, the residency fosters meaningful exchange, encourages local partnerships and collaboration, and supports enduring relationships between artists, partners, and sites while centring artistic excellence and care for cultural and natural heritage.

Each recipient will receive a grant of $50,000 to undertake their residency, which will conclude in a public reflection of their learning, such as a seminar, workshop, or new creative work.

Applicants are expected to have a relationship or connection to their chosen site. Your application should showcase the significance of the site to your work and residency.
