Artist Residency Opportunity: Drawn to the Mabo Library


2020 Mabo Library Art Exhibition

In 2020, James Cook University Library & Information Services will be hosting an Artist Residency Program  - Drawn to the Mabo Library - which will take place in the Eddie Koiki Mabo Library, including Special Collections and the surrounding grounds of the Townsville Campus.

The intention of this program is to open the Library for artists to interpret and respond visually and creatively to:
  • the Library’s buildings and public spaces,
  • relevant items in the Special Collections, and
  • the program theme: People, Place, Knowledge, Legacy.
Applicants will be asked to describe how their line of enquiry will relate to the four thematic elements and should remain mindful of these themes throughout the development of their work during the residency.
The residency program will:
  • take place between February and June 2020 (dates, days and times to be negotiated)
  • culminate in an exhibition of original art works by the selected artist (21 May 2020 – 19 June 2020).
