Visual Arts Residency – ArtsHub Australia


Creative Australia has committed to a three year (2024 – 2026) trilateral partnership with SAC Gallery, Bangkok and UNSW Galleries, Sydney with the support of the Debra Porch Award. Each gallery will host two artists each year; an Australian artist and a Thai artist, to undertake a visual arts residency. 

Each Award has total value of up to $13,000 AUD for Australia/$10,000 AUD for Thailand, with various support provided by residency host organisations. 

Artist Debra Porch’s practice focused on memory, mortality and the relationship between presence and absence. Working and teaching during art residencies she undertook in our neighbouring regions became vital in her art, work and life.   

In honour of  Debra Porch’s  life’s work, this  award will continue to be reciprocal in nature, to ensure long term engagement and strengthen strong intercultural connections across the Asia Pacific region. 

An Australian visual artist will be awarded a grant for a supported residency at SAC Gallery in Bangkok, Thailand. A Thai visual artist will also be awarded a reciprocal grant for a supported residency at UNSW Gallery Sydney, Australia.  

The residency host organisations will introduce the artist to the local sector and assist with research and network building with relevant communities. The artist will also have the option to share an artist talk or participate in a public program at the end of the residency period.
