In-House (Cultural Access Program)

We warmly invite you into our home!

Inclusion and cultural diversity are critical to a thriving creative community. In-House provides short term access to artist studios, workshop spaces, and rehearsal spaces at Ainslie+Gorman to artists, arts workers, and community groups who are culturally and linguistically diverse or are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander.

There are a range of venues and spaces across Ainslie+Gorman that are available to use for any art form, including independent artist studios, studio spaces, workshop and rehearsal spaces, classrooms, sound pods, co-working desks, and outdoor spaces.

Current In-House artists:
Yamile Tafur Rios
Vaidehi Subramanyan
Hangama Obaidullah
Shawnah Cady

Summer Artist Residency

The Summer Artist Residency Program at Gorman Arts Centre offered artists, arts workers and cultural practitioners with living and working space over a 3-week period, for dedicated creative exploration, and/or research towards a creative project.  

This was a self-directed residency opportunity, but it included one-on-one Producer support and networking opportunities to engage more broadly with the Canberra creative sector. Gorman Arts Centre is centrally located in Canberra and is home to the largest community of artists, theatre makers, dancers, and musicians in the region.

2024: Marisa Mu and Leila Frijat

Kids x Art

Kids x Art residency program offered an ACT-based or connected artist the opportunity to develop or extend their practice in working with children and their families. Provided with a full-time workspace and small stipend, this program encouraged participants to connect with peers to develop their arts practice and provides the opportunity to present public programs for kids.
