Edenhope Artist Residency
About
Edenhope Artist Residency is a local artist-run small business in Edenhope, Victoria, Australia. The residency program is open to all types of artists looking for time and space to work on their own projects in an open-plan studio space. Each artist gets a private bedroom in a house attached to the studio shared only with the other residency participants. EAR aims to engage international and local Australian artists interested in experiencing a new location with stays of between 1 and 3 months and we offer premium creative facilities including a printing press, 2 x 3D printers, large format Epson printer, access to kiln, and a heavy duty sewing machine. The goal of EAR is to provide a positive and productive location for artists from all over the world to come and stay and create new work and networks. Artists in residence are invited to participate in an artist talk / presentation once a month which are private but occasionally community members may be invited to.
