Funded Place Artists Announced

EAR is excited to announce the four artists selected for the funded places supported by West Wimmera Shire Council. The artists will be coming to EAR later in 2024 and early 2025.

The selected artists for this special round of funding are:

Renee Abaroa, MEX

Anna Boland, GBR

Daniel Grant, AUS

Katika Schultz, AUS

We had over 240 applications and we would like to thank all the artists and acknowledge the time and effort that went into each application. It was inspiring to see the high standard of applications and the diverse range of artistic projects submitted from all around the world.

We look forward to welcoming the selected artists to EAR!

First Press!

A great article about the funding EAR has recently received from the local council. It will be used to buy equipment and to provide 4 artists with funding to attend the residency and provide a small stipend to help cover their expenses. More information will be available soon about how to apply for one of these sponsored opportunities. The equipment will be available for artists to use during their stay and will also be used as part of our workshop offerings open to everyone. Click on the link above to read the full article.

Planning Permit Approved!

After years of planning and drawing and redrawing, changing plans and starting from scratch many times over, finally after submitting my plans to council 6 months ago they have been approved!

EAR is going to happen. Now to find a builder – I’ve been searching for two years now to find a builder willing to work on my project and sadly have not found one yet! They all seem to be too busy or can’t even be bothered to reply to my emails or phone messages. Clearly there is a gap in the market for builders willing to work out the country!
