The Regional Artist Development (RAD) Residency Program is a mentored artist residency with Wagga Wagga Art Gallery. It focuses on the development and mentoring of Regional Artists by providing recipients with a spacious studio environment in which to pursue their art practice.

Wagga Wagga Art Gallery has partnered with Earth Canvas to offer one artist residency on a regenerative farm and studio residency. This opportunity is open to artists from across regional NSW who have an environmental focus within their work and are interested in extending their engagement with themes of healthy landscapes, soil, food and a healthy planet.

A two-week artist residency (accommodation provided) will be undertaken at a regenerative farm within 50km of Wagga Wagga immediately followed by a two-week studio residency at Wagga Wagga Art Gallery.

Earth Canvas will facilitate a mentoring opportunity with a significant Australian landscape artist to further develop the understanding of working with nature to produce healthy food and landscapes.

The successful applicant to the RAD x Earth Canvas residency will receive a stipend of $500 to assist in meeting accommodation costs if the successful applicant is not a resident or near resident of Wagga Wagga.
