MadeSC Residencies: National call out for artists

Artists nationwide are being offered the luxury of time, space and support via three unique Sunshine Coast residencies.

 
MadeSC Residencies: National call out for artists

Artists from across Australia are invited to take part in the MadeSC Residency Program 2026, a bespoke residency initiative designed to give artists time, space and support to develop new ideas in dialogue with the region. 

Delivered in partnership with independent spaces and businesses, MadeSC Residencies offer artists the opportunity to immerse themselves in practice across three unique sites: 

Falls Farm, Mapleton

A residential residency set within a working permaculture farm, ideal for artists exploring regenerative practices, environment and science.

LJProjects, Nambour 

Two dance artists performing. One is holding the other over their head in a room with a table, lamps and a rug on the wooden floor

A dedicated month-long residency in a purpose-built dance studio. Suitable for dance, theatre and interdisciplinary performance artists. 

Lantana Space, Moffat Beach 

Artist space with paint on the floor, an easel, table and chair, and artworks painted directly onto the white walls

A studio residency embedded in a regional artist-run initiative, supporting experimentation, dialogue and risk-taking. 

The residencies

Residencies will be delivered between March and May 2026. 

Each includes an artist stipend of up to $5,000, access to industry peers for mentoring or producer support, dedicated studio or residency space, ongoing producer support and a facilitated work-in-progress showing. 

Key dates: 

  • Expressions of Interest close: 17 November 2025 
  • Residencies: February–April 2026
