The Room to Create program encompasses a range of initiatives to help keep the arts in Yarra. As the City continues to change, presenting challenges to creatives, arts and cultural organisations, we're providing support to keep Yarra a vibrant, creative centre for the arts through handful of Council-owned spaces, making it easier for creatives to have access to spaces.
The Room to Create artist-in-residency program commenced in late 2017 as a pilot program, across three under-utilised council buildings. Since then, the program has grown to include several more spaces with organisations and artists of varied disciplines.
Opportunities are subject to availability and are announced through the E-News and Yarra City Arts Instagram. 12-month residencies are open to artists as individuals, partnerships or collectives. Previous residencies have included Florence Peel Centre, Meeting Room, Fitzroy (12 months) and North Carlton Children's Centre, Carlton North (12 months).
