Arts Victoria's INDIGENOUS VISUAL ARTS RESIDENCIES is a new residency

The residency program aims to:

· Connect Indigenous visual artists and arts workers with arts
organisations and widen networks to facilitate knowledge sharing;
and,
· Foster career development opportunities.

The residencies will have a vocational focus which aims to provide
Indigenous artists and arts workers in Victoria with the opportunity to
undertake challenging roles in arts organisations. The base salary for
these positions begins at $43,644 pa (pro rata).

We are now calling for submissions from Indigenous visual artists and
arts-workers interested in undertaking a residency placement within an art
