Palace of Production Residency returns in 2020
The Kangaroo Island Palace of Production Artist Residency is
back in 2020.
Honouring the creative spirit of artist Cath Cantlon, the
Kangaroo Island Palace of Production (P.O.P) Artist in Residence provides a
contemporary visual artist an opportunity to immerse themselves in artistic
exploration in the artist’s studio within the tranquil, natural surroundings of
Kangaroo Island.
Following the huge demand from applicants in 2019, Country
Arts SA is inviting artists from a visual arts discipline to apply for a
four-week residency commencing Saturday April 4, 2020.
Country Arts
SA Creative Programs Manager Merilyn de Nys said: “We were so thrilled with the
amount of interest in this new artist residency this year; we had so many great
applications and a great outcome that we are able to offer again in 2020. Cath
Cantlon was a wonderful, multi-talented artist who loved collaborating with
artists and communities across Australia. We are honoured, together with Cath’s
partner Catherine Murphy, to give an artist this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
to create while immersed in the natural beauty of Emu Bay on Kangaroo Island.”
One artist
will be selected to take part in the residency program. The successful
applicant will be provided with an artist fee, living allowance and a travel
stipend. Artists from a visual arts discipline are encouraged to apply.
Cath’s
working life was dedicated to extensive collaborations in theatre, film,
community and public art, and interior and exterior designs for new
architectural builds across regional and urban South Australia. She always
referred to her studio as “the palace” because when built in 2012, her partner
dubbed it the “Palace of Production”.
