Applications are now open for The Guildhouse Collections Project + City of Adelaide.
The Guildhouse Collections Project + City of Adelaide provides a paid opportunity for an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander artist to research and respond to the City of Adelaide’s extensive collections. In response to their research, the selected artist will develop new work(s) for presentation during the 2025 Tarnanthi Festival, presented in the ART POD.
City of Adelaide manages several cultural collections, including the city archives, civic collection, public art, commemorative monuments, memorials and a growing collection of contemporary artworks that help to tell the story of the city both past and present. These collections serve as a reflection of the city’s cultural identity and values.
Alongside the research and development phase the selected artist will be supported by both City of Adelaide and Guildhouse teams in considering the collections, with the opportunity to connect with key cultural consultative and curatorial staff and Advisory Group representatives.
The successful artist will receive an artist fee of $7,500. The Tarnanthi Festival presentation in the Pirie St ART POD will include new work(s) and an accompanying catalogue to showcase and celebrate the themes, research and reflections of the selected artist.
The Guildhouse Collections Project + City of Adelaide is supported by CreateSA and presented with Tarnanthi Festival.
