Expressions of Interest are now open for the Powerhouse Residency Program. The program invites applications from NSW-based practitioners and organisations across the applied arts and sciences whose work aligns with Powerhouse programs and The Collection.
Now in its seventh year, the Powerhouse Residency Program has supported multidisciplinary practitioners at different career stages, fostering dynamic collaborations between residents, researchers and the Powerhouse curatorial, programming and learning teams.
From July 2025, Powerhouse will provide selected residents with dedicated subsidised workspaces at Powerhouse Ultimo. As part of the program, they will also receive access to the Powerhouse Research Library, Collection and Archive to support the development of their practice. In return, residents will collaborate with Powerhouse teams to develop and deliver engaging public programs for diverse Powerhouse audiences.
Applications will be assessed by a selection committee comprising representatives from Powerhouse, Powerhouse Foundation University Partner — the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) — and independent industry representatives.
Powerhouse is currently home to 17 residents including the Australian Fashion Council; designer, artist and creative producer Anna Tregloan; multidisciplinary artist NELL; internationally renowned fashion duo Romance Was Born (Anna Plunkett and Luke Sales); not-for-profit screen organisation Co-Curious; creative digital studio Kopi Su; audio-specialist creative agency Eardrum and sustainable fashion designer Iordanes Spyridon Gogos (ISG).
