The Residencies and Studios Programs offer opportunities for individuals and groups engaged in all forms of practice to realise short to mid-term projects. Artists in Residence work in conjunction with the FAC’s Exhibitions Program, whilst the Studios Program can enable artists to realize their own projects in the Centre’s studios and workshops. The Residencies and Studios Programs are a vital part of Fremantle Arts Centre’s goal to bring artists and audiences together in the exploration of art and ideas.
