The Lock-Up Artist in Residence


  • The Lock Up Newcastle Australia (map)

I will be spending October 2024 as Artist in Residence at The Lock Up Newcastle, Awabakal Land, Australia… more information soon… soon

The Lock-Up’s nationally renowned Artist in Residence program provides onsite accommodation in the old detective’s office for artists curators and other creatives. It allows space for work to be researched and developed; for experimental and innovative arts practices to thrive.

The lock-up was built to support the Newcastle police station which was housed in the adjacent court house.

The Artist in Residence program enables artists to respond to the unique architecture and history of the 1800’s building, and allows artists the capacity to make responsive and site-specific works.

Supported by the Creative Australia (Australia Council for the Arts), Create NSW and Crown Lands NSW.
