Jessie Boylan and Linda Dement were supported through a 2016 ACR grant to undertake a residency at Burrinja Gallery, Vic. |
The ACR program offers the opportunity for regional galleries nationally to engage artists or curators to undertake a residency activity. The Artist or Curator Residency program is supported by the Copyright Agency’s Cultural Fund and is managed by Museums & Galleries of NSW. The program is designed to provide artists or curators with the time and space to research, create and/or develop new work. By providing this financial assistance the ACR program aims to support the generation of, and public engagement with, innovative and adventurous contemporary art in regional Australia. To be successful, applicants will need to demonstrate a tangible benefit to the artist or curator’s work. In return, the resident is expected to contribute generally to the host gallery’s education and public program activities.
