Art Residencies

Escape to the Western Australian countryside for a week (or more) devoted entirely to your creative practice.

Whichever option works best for you, you will enjoy:

full studio access - paint until midnight without being disturbed in the huge light filled studio
tasty/nutritious home cooked meals- don't need to think about shopping or cooking
socializing and networking- spend time with other artists, make new friends and get inspired
peace and quiet- spend uninterrupted time in the countryside surrounded by open fields

Testimonials

“The best experience of my life. I made new friends, I felt pampered & I got to spend uninterrupted time working on my new project. The peace and quiet was wonderful. I honestly cannot recommend this place enough. Thank you!!!!!”
— Susan, NSW

“I did not want to leave. The amazing food! I am gluten intolerant and vegetarian, and the hosts, Johanna & Greg, went out of their way to make sure I was well taken care of. Socializing with other creative people was a lot of fun. Staying in the old building was like stepping back in time — the perfect environment to create. I loved every minute of it xxx”
— Tracie, WA

“My time at my residency was so memorable. Just what I needed. I had new inspiration and was able to take the time to explore and experiment within my art practice. Food was next level & Johanna and Greg were so warm and inviting. I’ll definitely be back.”
— Christine, VIC

“My time at Greenhills was truly incredible. I can’t express how happy this residency made me. From the warmth of the hosts to the impeccable, huge studio, nothing was missing — the perfect set-up for creativity. The historic & beautiful old house, full of antiques, became our home during the residency, and the surrounding countryside was more than inspiring.”
— Mapi, Argentina
