Art In Isolation
We’ve been working non-stop to gather funds from a range of sources, and then direct them straight to Artists, paired with free space, to provide paid residencies to artists across artforms. Our Art In Isolation residencies began in September and will continue as long as we have resources and there is need.
So far our Donors Circle and Inner West Council have contributed to funding the residencies, and 5 Eliza and The Old 505 have contributed to housing artists, and we continue to seek new homes and funding sources.
If you would like to contribute funds or space to the programme please contact artists@sydneyfringe.com to open a conversation.
If you would like to apply for a residency, periodic Expressions of Interest are open here as new residency opportunities become available.
Made In Sydney Program
Our long planned Made In Sydney program has had it’s first year in 2020 – somewhat adapted for the current climate! Through this program we foster and invest in leading Sydney made independent work, providing artists and ensembles the opportunity to dive deep into the practice, present it in its home environment and then take it to the world.
In 2020 we supported five Sydney companies & creators to make a new work or adapt a previous work – either for film, or for a hybrid screen & in-person presentation.
The works are featured within the Global Fringe program, and some will be presented in a digital tour to Stockholm Fringe, Brighton Fringe, Melbourne Fringe and more to be confirmed.
Expressions of interest for the 2022 Made In Sydney program will open in early April.
First Nations Program Consultation
We have continued our community consultation towards our inaugural First Nations hub program to take place in 2022. Over coming months First Nations leaders and community will be leading the planning, and we’ll be facilitating the rollout, of a dedicated program by and for First Nations artists and audiences.
