Residencies

Our residency program invites individual artists and collectives to engage critically and creatively with the architecture, landscape and histories of La Perouse to develop contemporary responses that acknowledge its past, present and future. The program encourages experimental, site-responsive practices and ongoing interpretations that consider ocean, observation, protection, refuge and other themes associated with the area.
