INTRODUCTION 

Artists undertake a Papillon Art Retreat for an agreed period of time, anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks, to develop ideas, create new work or deepen their existing art practice. They will stay in the weatherboard house, main bedroom or guest bedroom and have use of the downstairs art studio.  The art studio and the 700 meters2 of the property’s bushland are available. The main bedroom and the workshop will be closed at present  to store the owners private belongings, however all other areas on the property, are available for use . The extraordinary beauty of the surroundings will provide a ground for creativity and professional development. Your proposed project will be supported and encouraged as necessary from the Ether..

Proposals are welcome throughout the year – each season has its own creative possibilities. It is recommended that applications are submitted well in advance.

Successful applicants are charged a residency fee. The rate is AUD$200 per artist per night for Australian artists and AUD$250 per artist per night for International artists.

Papillon Retreat is located on the edge of Brisbane Waters National Park, about one hour away from Sydney and is boat access only.
