About the Residency
  The Inglewood Residency program will provide an
  opportunity for an individual Artist or an Artist duo
  from WA to utilise a pop-up studio space for a
  minimum of 50 hours over two to five weeks.

  The studio is situated on Mooro Country within the
  lively Inglewood precinct and provides an
  opportunity for Artists to be embedded in a
  community setting, at the heart of a thriving town
  centre. Situated within the City of Stirling Library –
  Inglewood, and featuring external facing windows
  and a private courtyard, the studio offers excellent
  exposure for Artists interested in connecting with
  new audiences.

  This program emphasises a strong community
  element by placing Artists within a vibrant cultural
  hub with a strong sense of place. Artists will set their
  own outcomes for the development of their work
  during the residency period.

  The City will provide successful Artists with training
  and also support in the development of a shared
  vision for community engagement and/or
  presentation activity.

  The Inglewood Residency will further the
  development of the arts in the City of Stirling by
  providing financial support, professional
  development, publicity, and space to the selected
  Artist/s. It will accomplish all this while inspiring our
  community and putting a spotlight on creative
  practice.

  The City of Stirling acknowledges the traditional
  custodians of the land on which this residency will
  take place, the Wadjak people of the Nyoongar
  nation. We pay respect to the Elders past, present
  and future for they hold the memories, the
  traditions, the culture and hopes of Aboriginal
  Australia.

Expectations of Artists
   Successful Artists must be available to commit to their agreed residency period.

   The successful Artist/s will determine their residency schedule in collaboration with the City of Stirling and will
   complete their residency as a minimum of 50 hours of studio time over a period of two to five consecutive weeks
   between 26 April 2021 and 31 May 2021. (see ‘Sample Schedule’ for an example of how this might be achieved.)

   No expectations will be placed on the Artist/s regarding the realisation of work, with Artist/s invited to self-identify their
   proposed outcomes. Each Artist will be required to articulate their individual intention for the Residency in their
   application and to reflect on this throughout the residency.

   •   Individual Artists may seek to:
           o Use the dedicated studio time to focus on the development of new work;
           o Take advantage of the community location and undertake engagement activities to inform or extend a
               body of work; or
           o Work towards other outcomes as defined by the Artist.

   •   Artist duos may seek to:
            o Develop a single project, with the support of input and skills training from the other Artist Resident;
            o Develop individual works with the intent of a joint exhibition;
            o Develop a collaborative project or set of projects which responds to the other Artist Resident; or
            o Work towards other outcomes as defined by the Artist.

   •   The Artist/s will present a community engagement program during the term of the Residency. (see further details
       below).

   •   Each Artist will be responsible for providing their own equipment and materials, including those required for their
       engagement program.

   •   If submitting as an Artist duo, both must agree on a plan for the expenditure of the $1,500 materials budget,
       which may be used to supplement their own equipment with any additional items needed for the fulfilment of the
       residency.

Onboarding
  Upon selection, the Artist/s must attend a co-design meeting with the City. During this meeting a written agreement
   between the City and the Artists will be finalised including:

   •   A schedule for the Residency. Each Artist must commit to schedule which equates to a minimum of 50 hours in
       the studio per Artist. Artists may also attend the studio outside of these scheduled hours if desired. Artists
       undertaking the Residency as a duo need not always occupy the studio at the same time. Artists may elect to
       include a portion of their time to work unaccompanied, whilst at other times to work in collaboration.

   •   Wherever possible, a commitment to be present at their allocated residency venue for a minimum of five of hours
       per day, on any scheduled day. Specific start and finish times are negotiable depending on individual needs and
       external responsibilities. The residency commitments of each Artist can be carried out at a minimum of two days
       per week over a six-week period, and a maximum of six days per week over a two-week period.

   •   Proof of Certificate of Currency of Public Liability Insurance policy to the value of at least $10,000,000.

   •   Commitment to complete a building induction to understand and comply with access, security, waste disposal,
       safe work practices and the City’s Code of Conduct prior to commencing the Residency.

   •   In the case of an Artist duo only: A copy of an agreement between each Artist, regarding the management of
       copyright, moral rights, materials budget, insurances and other matters related to the Residency.

Inglewood Artist Residency Brief

Engagement Program
   The Artist/s will develop a community engagement element to their work that may take place within or beyond the
   walls of the studio. The details of this engagement program will be finalised in a co-design session with the City
   prior to commencement of the Residency.
   The program should be meaningful to both the community and the Artists. The program should be proposed and
   executed by the Artists with promotional and venue support from the City. The program should be bespoke to the
   successful Artists, however an example program is provided at Appendix A for guidance

Artist Journal
   Artist/s are invited to keep a reflective journal of their progress during the residency and share extracts from this in
   some format with the public. The journal should reflect on the relationships and skills being formed or ideas
   developed during the residency. The journal format may be written, photographic, video or audio at the Artists’
   preference.

   The full journals are expected to be private. However, Artists are asked to use their reflective practice to inform a
   public version of this journal, which takes the community on the residency journey with them. The format of this
   public version can be discussed in the co-design meeting, and may take the form of photographic or video social
   media posts, a notice board, window exhibit etc. See Appendix B for examples of what a journal might look like
   when shared via Instagram.
   The intent of the journaling practice is to ensure Artists are actively reflecting on their progress towards their
   intentions for the residency. The public component is complimentary to the community engagement program and
   facilitates the community’s understanding of arts practice as well as the purpose and value of residencies

     (Time and date range)
     What’s your favourite nursery rhyme? Perhaps you have made up your own? Join Artists A and B after
     Rhyme Time in the library and discover ways to paint, collage or build works of art that capture these rhymes
     and brighten up your child’s bedroom or your home. A and B are Artists in Residence at the City of Stirling’s
     pop-up Studio in Inglewood Library from 1 - 30 May. These long time collaborators are exploring new ways
     to capture and celebrate the communal knowledge passed down across cultures and generations in song
     and rhyme.

   • Let it go with Artist B
     (Time and date range)

     document and evoke these feelings
