Creative Residencies

The ACCOMPLICE residency program undertakes a reflective, challenging and exploratory framework for artists, community and audience to come together to explore work in development.

Our residency program grew in 2018, with funding through Australia Council, into a program of local and visiting residencies researched and developed projects over two to three week periods. The program focuses on artists committed to regional engagement and exploration of the culture and landscape of the Top End.

In 2019 and 2020 we continued to build depth into our established residency program and produced work by creating uniquely Garrmalang/Darwin opportunities to share research, development and outcomes with our audiences.
