Inglewood Artist Residency Brief About the Residency The Inglewood Residency program will provide an opportunity for an individual Artist or an Artist duo from WA to utilise a pop-up studio space for a minimum of 50 hours over two to five weeks. The studio is situated on Mooro Country within the lively Inglewood precinct and provides an opportunity for Artists to be embedded in a community setting, at the heart of a thriving town centre. Situated within the City of Stirling Library – Inglewood, and featuring external facing windows and a private courtyard, the studio offers excellent exposure for Artists interested in connecting with new audiences. This program emphasises a strong community element by placing Artists within a vibrant cultural hub with a strong sense of place. Artists will set their own outcomes for the development of their work during the residency period. The City will provide successful Artists with training and also support in the development of a shared vision for community engagement and/or presentation activity. The Inglewood Residency will further the development of the arts in the City of Stirling by providing financial support, professional development, publicity, and space to the selected Artist/s. It will accomplish all this while inspiring our community and putting a spotlight on creative practice. The City of Stirling acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which this residency will take place, the Wadjak people of the Nyoongar nation. We pay respect to the Elders past, present and future for they hold the memories, the traditions, the culture and hopes of Aboriginal Australia.

between 26 April 2021 and 31 May 2021. (see ‘Sample Schedule’ for an example of how this might be achieved.)
No expectations will be placed on the Artist/s regarding the realisation of work, with Artist/s invited to self-identify their
proposed outcomes. Each Artist will be required to articulate their individual intention for the Residency in their
application and to reflect on this throughout the residency.
• Individual Artists may seek to:

body of work; or
o Work towards other outcomes as defined by the Artist.
• Artist duos may seek to:
o Develop a single project, with the support of input and skills training from the other Artist Resident;
o Develop individual works with the intent of a joint exhibition;
o Develop a collaborative project or set of projects which responds to the other Artist Resident; or

below).
• Each Artist will be responsible for providing their own equipment and materials, including those required for their
engagement program.

which may be used to supplement their own equipment with any additional items needed for the fulfilment of the
residency.
Onboarding
Upon selection, the Artist/s must attend a co-design meeting with the City. During this meeting a written agreement
between the City and the Artists will be finalised including:
• A schedule for the Residency. Each Artist must commit to schedule which equates to a minimum of 50 hours in
the studio per Artist. Artists may also attend the studio outside of these scheduled hours if desired. Artists
undertaking the Residency as a duo need not always occupy the studio at the same time. Artists may elect to
include a portion of their time to work unaccompanied, whilst at other times to work in collaboration.
• Wherever possible, a commitment to be present at their allocated residency venue for a minimum of five of hours
per day, on any scheduled day. Specific start and finish times are negotiable depending on individual needs and

safe work practices and the City’s Code of Conduct prior to commencing the Residency.

copyright, moral rights, materials budget, insurances and other matters related to the Residency.
Inglewood Artist Residency Brief Engagement Program The Artist/s will develop a community engagement element to their work that may take place within or beyond the walls of the studio. The details of this engagement program will be finalised in a co-design session with the City prior to commencement of the Residency. The program should be meaningful to both the community and the Artists. The program should be proposed and executed by the Artists with promotional and venue support from the City. The program should be bespoke to the successful Artists, however an example program is provided at Appendix A for guidance Artist Journal Artist/s are invited to keep a reflective journal of their progress during the residency and share extracts from this in some format with the public. The journal should reflect on the relationships and skills being formed or ideas developed during the residency. The journal format may be written, photographic, video or audio at the Artists’ preference. The full journals are expected to be private. However, Artists are asked to use their reflective practice to inform a public version of this journal, which takes the community on the residency journey with them. The format of this public version can be discussed in the co-design meeting, and may take the form of photographic or video social media posts, a notice board, window exhibit etc. See Appendix B for examples of what a journal might look like when shared via Instagram. The intent of the journaling practice is to ensure Artists are actively reflecting on their progress towards their intentions for the residency. The public component is complimentary to the community engagement program and facilitates the community’s understanding of arts practice as well as the purpose and value of residencies
