Creative Residency Out West (CROW) recipiant announced.
The first year of Creative Residencies Out West (CROW), will see three regionally based artists travel to another part of regional NSW to spend quality time on their work.
CROW is a collaboration between regional arts development organisations (RADOs) Outback Arts, Arts OutWest and West Darling Arts.
From Outback Arts, writer Jen Molyneux of Lightening Ridge will do a residency at Rosebank Gallery and Guesthouse in Millthorpe (in the Arts OutWest region). She plans to work on the second draft of her novella.·
From the Arts OutWest region (the NSW Central West), Wiradjuri creative Yanhadarrambal Jade Flynn will undertake a creative residency at Mt Grenfell near Cobar on Ngiyampaa Wangaaypuwan Country, in the Outback Arts area.
From West Darling Arts, writer and illustrator Anika Molesworth from Broken Hill will do her residency at The Corridor Project near Cowra (in the Arts OutWest region). She plans to work on a new children’s illustrated book and a body of spoken word poetry.
The three artists will spend at least two weeks in a neighbouring region to develop new creative work and deliver an activity with their host community.
The opportunity was open to artists at all stages of their career, in all artforms including visual arts, music, theatre, dance and performance, writing, film, new media.
Artists designed their own residency experience, choosing a location and community outside of their own region.
Artists can use their residency to make new work, refine existing work, or experiment. They will be required to run a small workshop or public activity in their chosen community.
