Applications are now open for our exciting new artist in residency (AiR) program.

The Shared School AiR program offers a unique creative space within Black Flat Community Centre and is a dedicated studio where artists can gather, experiment and create. 

The program supports artists who are looking to:  

  • Nurture cultural practices and lineages of making. 

  • Explore intergenerational learning and knowledge exchange. 

  • Bring people together through collective or community-engaged work. 

  • Seek time, mentorship, and supportive networks to grow their practice. 


The program has designated positions for artists who identify as belonging to Monash’s priority population groups including First Nations peoples, migrant and diaspora communities, people with disability, carers, older people, gender diverse and LGBTIQA+ communities and those who are financially vulnerable.  

Information session 

An online Information Session about the program, including what’s involved and how to apply, will be run by Council’s Creative Engagement Officer. 

Monday 12 January 2026, 12pm – 12.30pm
