UNSW Art & Design supports a range of campus residencies throughout the year.

We welcome applications and also directly invite leading artists, designers, media innovators, educators, creative arts researchers and scholars to join our diverse international creative community.

The Art & Design Residency Program has been established to enhance the knowledge and experience of undergraduate and postgraduate students and higher degree research candidates across all disciplines.

Participants receive status as Residents of the Faculty with access to our libraries, technical support facilities, staff and workshops. Our inner urban Paddington Campus features an apartment that residents can apply to occupy for a period of up to two months.  

Participants in our Residency Program are responsible for contributing to our education, practice and research programs by engaging students, staff and alumni through open studios, guest lectures, workshops and other forms of knowledge exchange. 

With easy access to UNSW’s Kensington campus via a free shuttle bus and located close to many of Sydney’s leading cultural institutions and creative precincts, Art & Design offers a supportive environment to engage and explore art, culture and innovation in Sydney. 

From 2016 our residency programs include the new Bowen Bungaree Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Arts Residency which provides tailored support for Indigenous artists and designers to enable them to undertake ambitious projects and to create new work.
