The Carstairs were an intriguing and eccentric blend of Writers, Poets, Painters, Pianists, and Illustrators who immigrated to Australia from Fife, Scotland, in the Nineteenth Century.

Arthur and Yvonne Boyd believed that nature has the power to inspire and nurture creative exploration and play. When they gave their breathtaking land Bundanon, situated by the Shoalhaven River, they hoped that fellow artists would breathe its intrepid air, journey curiously down untrodden avenues and delve deeper into the imagination.

Creativity might more daringly and affectionately be accessed when exposed to distinct landscapes and the fresh company of strangers. With this in mind, we wish to offer one artist a one month residency at Bundanon with a stipend of $2800.

The Carstairs Residency Prize will provide assistance to a mid-career Australian visual art, craft and/or design artist to undertake a one month residency at the Bundanon Trust, NSW.

The grant will provide funds for travel, living costs and/or artwork production costs to enable the successful recipient to maximise their creative output during the residency. Funding available: Applications for funding of a maximum of $2,800 + GST will be accepted. Important Dates: Applications are now open and close 5pm Monday 1 September 2014.

The winner will be notified by 1 October. Residency dates are 5 January - 1 February 2015. The Residency will be offered at the Bundanon Trust, 170 Riversdale Road Illaroo NSW.
