Eligibility

The West Space Studio is open to artists living in Victoria or who are able to reside in Victoria for the duration of their studio residency. West Space does not offer accommodation support as part of the residency.

Seeking to redress historical imbalances, we will prioritise applications from First Nations people, Culturally and Linguistically Diverse people, people with disability and people who are d/Deaf.

West Space wishes to thank inaugural West Space Studio Supporters, Melissa Loughnan & Simon Griffiths for their ongoing generosity and support of this vital program for artists.
