Yarra City Council is seeking Expressions of Interest for an Artist-in-Residency program at 481 Canning St, North Carlton. The available space is located on the top floor of a building that is also partially used by the North Carlton Childcare Centre and managed by the City of Yarra.

The residencies are open to artists as individuals, partnerships or collectives. Successful applicants will receive exclusive use of the nominated space for a 12 month period.

These residencies are part of Yarra City Council’s Room to Create Program, which aims to keep the arts in Yarra by providing support for eligible artists or groups through its Room to Create Artist-in-Residency program.

The Room to Create Program encompasses a range of initiatives by the City of Yarra to help keep the arts in Yarra. As the City continues to change, presenting challenges to creatives, arts and cultural organisations, Council is providing support to keep Yarra a vibrant, creative centre for the arts through a number of Council-owned spaces, making it easier for creatives to have access to spaces.
