PICA’s Quick Response studio residencies are for artists needing space to test an idea or develop a project over a short time frame of 1-6 weeks. With an open call for applications twice a year, this program aims to contribute to the cultural life of Perth by providing much-needed space, equipment and time to develop or experiment with ideas without the pressure of a completed outcome. The spaces are suited for artists who have an interest in an independently driven structure for research and development.
Through PICA’s Studio Program, artists are provided with:
- Exclusive use of a private, accessible studio at PICA with daily access from 7am–10pm
- Use of PICA’s shared areas and equipment (as available)
- Curatorial, production and logistical support from PICA staff
- Facilitated connections with local artists, organisations and communities for research and community engagement.
