Investment to support both an Australian artist and a Thai artist to undertake reciprocal residencies.

Creative Australia has committed to a three year (2024 - 2026) trilateral partnership with SAC Gallery, Bangkok and UNSW Galleries, Sydney with the support of the Debra Porch Award.

An Australian visual artist will be awarded a grant for a supported residency at SAC Gallery in Bangkok, Thailand. A Thai visual artist will also be awarded a reciprocal grant for a supported residency at UNSW Galleries in Sydney, Australia.

The residency host organisations will introduce the artist to the local sector and assist with research and network building with relevant communities. The artist will also have the option to share an artist talk or participate in a public program at the end of the residency period.

This program is designed for visual artists who work in an interdisciplinary and/or gallery context and who are: 

• Mid-career artists in Australia or Thailand. Applicants must be citizens or permanent residents of either country 
• have a visual arts and/or interdisciplinary practice with an interest in material exploration.   
• committed to a long-term engagement with Thailand, and vice versa.
