Northern Beaches Council (Council) is offering a six-month non-residential artist residency at Eramboo Artist Environment (Eramboo) in 2026. This residency provides a unique experience for a creative resident (Resident) to research, experiment, engage with community and develop new work.

The Resident is provided a payment of $3,000.00 for project delivery to produce the three key outcomes:

1. community engagement – share their learnings/work with local audiences
2. mentorship – could include delivering a masterclass, series of workshops, or one-to-one mentoring of a local Northern Beaches based artist
3. public outcome – could include an exhibition, performance, or temporary public work

Applications for 2026 are now closed. Applications for 2027 will open late this year.
