About the Program

At Footscray Community Arts, we are committed to nurturing artists at every stage of their creative journey. Our RESIDENCE program is designed to provide a supportive environment for independent artists, collectives, and small to medium-sized organisations in order to cultivate a vibrant artistic community in the western suburbs.

Within our historic Henderson House studios, artists have the opportunity to elevate their artistic practice and embark on new creative endeavours. Artists in RESIDENCE not only gain access to our artist studios but can also enjoy the benefits of a fully equipped podcast studio, gallery spaces, a rehearsal studio, kitchenette facilities, an on-site café, free parking, and, most importantly, being part of the creative community at Footscray Community Arts.
