NMC ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE
The Program
Our residencies are open to both emerging and established artists and are held at the NMC Festival House in Nannup. Artists must be 18 years and over to apply or have a parent/guardian apply and stay with them. We endeavour to make available four NMC funded residencies annually, as well as the option of NMC supported residencies by offering the Festival House at discounted rates for individual artists, Arts Organisations and Educational Institutions.
The Festival House
Nestled among jacaranda trees and surrounded by a beautiful verandah, the Festival House comprises four bedrooms and a bathroom with a huge kitchen and large living area. A classic Nannup cottage-style property right in the heart of town (and of the Nannup Music Festival site), the house is nestled in the perfect position – two minute walk to cafes, gift shops, the local supermarket, pub, Brewery and other shops with a two minute walk in the other direction through the Arboretum is a winding walk through jarrah and karri forests. Countless outdoor adventure activities including Barrabup Pool, world-class mountain bike tracks and river walks in this historic town and biodiversity hotspot.
