Applications are now open for Local Creative Collaborations 2026, inviting artists to immerse themselves in their practice and develop new work within the heart of Bondi Pavilion.
Artist residencies are available in Bondi Pavilion’s Yalagang Room, Artist Studio and Music Studios.
These multi-disciplinary residencies are an opportunity to be a part of the artistic life of Bondi Pavilion. They are designed to support artists at every stage of their career, from emerging to established, with funded opportunities available.
We encourage applications from creatives who live, work, or have a demonstrable connection to the Waverley community.
Expressions of interest for all three residencies close on Monday 16 February at 5pm.
Residencies start from March 2026.
Yalagang Room Residency
This opportunity is open to creatives across all artforms, with priority given to the development of new artistic works.
