Unlock your practice

​

IN | artist run initiative is taking expressions of interest from artists who wish to take part in our Cell Mates Residency Program for the month of December 2022 (late Nov bump in). 

 

ABOUT CELL MATES 

IN | artist run initiative will pair two artists together to undertake a collaborative residency. This pairing will be driven by the potentiality of either two divergent artistic practices and/or practices that share common languages, conceptual anchors or processes. The residency is designed for artists looking to expand the boundaries of their current practice and those interested in cross-fertilisation. 

 

Successful applicants will receive: 

• Space: The Old Lock Up (4 First Ave, Maroochydore, 4558) 

• Time: Four weeks at no cost. 

• Featured artist profile on our website + social media showcasing artists’ practice and current work.

• Support from IN | artist run initiative directors including consultations throughout residency and in development for public programming / outcomes. 

• Should artists choose to run ticketed public programs, 70% of all income will go directly to the artists and 30% to IN for administration support. 

 

 

Successful applicants will be required to present a public outcome with your fellow Cell Mate residency artist. This could look like a workshop, exhibition, artist talk, screening, activation, listening party. (Outcome to be agreed upon in consultation with IN directors.)

 

Contemporary artists working across all art forms are eligible to apply. Artists that are local, First Nations, queer or gender diverse, and/or experience disability are encouraged to apply. 

 

Please get in touch via thelockupunlocked@gmail.com with any questions or curiosities.
