Founded in 2017, Stonehouse Glasshouse’s artist-in-residence program brings together two Australian and New Zealand based artists each summer in the south-west of France, for a concentrated period of creation, inquiry and growth.

Residents have the opportunity to expand upon their individual practises while interacting with the local environment, history and cultural institutions. The program seeks to promote practises spanning a wide range of disciplines across the visual arts, sound arts and writing.
