Artist-in-Residence

  • Established in 1994, the Artist-in-Residence Programme has hosted a wide range of talented artists working across diverse media. This one-year residency offers each artist the chance to develop their own work while engaging closely with the Eltham College school community. The resident is provided with access to a dedicated studio space and specialist facilities, including a ceramics kiln, etching press, and darkroom. As part of the residency, artists have contributed to curriculum lessons, run workshops, and led community projects. Past residents have also exhibited their own art in the Gerald Moore Gallery, showcasing the work they have done during the year-long programme.

     

    More information on past artists and their work can be found below.

     

    The next open call for the Artist-in-Residence Programme  will be in April 2026.
