MOTHRA: Artist-Parent Project
September 21st - 28th 2026 - Deadline to apply May 29th
Have you read the information about the residency? [ ie. MOTHRA is interested in bringing together the parent child relationship in the artist residency setting, rather than separating the child from the adult for art-making purposes. The children are why this project exists, and we want to include them as contributors. You are responsible for your child at all times.]

Are you used to working alongside or with you child or would this residency be the first time?

Have you studied art at an undergraduate/postgraduate level? If so, where? Please note that MOTHRA is set in the context of contemporary art, and those who attend are expected to join in dialogue about the histories of practice in this and related fields. Participants are also expected to discuss their own practice in relation to the context of contemporary art, and related fields. All are welcome to apply, but priority is given to those who have studied art and creative practice at undergraduate and graduate levels.

What would the ideal sleeping arrangement be for your family for this residency? [Please do keep in mind that GP’s rooms and sleeping configurations vary. We do our best to accommodate everyone we accept, but sometimes we run out of space. GP has accommodation for larger families in the two available portables, there is one room with two double beds, and some rooms where a separate cot can be placed. All rooms have one double bed. Most bedrooms do not have a toilet and sink in the room, and most rooms are best suited for a child and adult co-sleeping.]
*
If your child sleeps in a crib/cot, will you be bringing one or will you need help sourcing this?
Please upload five images of your work and your latest resume/cv.
