Most residencies are within visual arts, but there have been some projects in media and also drama disciplines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most projects have a duration of around 30-40 hours, are collaboratively designed and executed with the students and their Generalist Teacher. An increasing number are in remote\/rural settings in partnership projects involving Curtin AiRs, Indigenous Elders and high Indigenous student numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">_________________________________________________<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">For our Schools &#8230;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our updated <strong>School Information Letter &#8211; 2026 EoI Callout<\/strong> will be available here soon.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">For our Artists &#8230;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus far, we have received EoI&#8217;s from the following schools for 2026 placements: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Woodland Grove Primary School<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Durham Road School<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>John Curtin College of the Arts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Forrestfield Primary School<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Riverton Primary School <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/2025-Curtin-Artist-in-Residence-Program-_Information-for-Schools-1_Redacted-1.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of 2025-Curtin-Artist-in-Residence-Program-_Information-for-Schools (1)_Redacted.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-da591077-bde6-4479-ac25-777d27e918ee\" href=\"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/2025-Curtin-Artist-in-Residence-Program-_Information-for-Schools-1_Redacted-1.pdf\">2025-Curtin-Artist-in-Residence-Program-_Information-for-Schools (1)_Redacted<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/2025-Curtin-Artist-in-Residence-Program-_Information-for-Schools-1_Redacted-1.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-da591077-bde6-4479-ac25-777d27e918ee\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>2025 Proposal Template:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-0260708e-43d4-45df-af55-0d83347573ed\" href=\"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2025_AiR-Proposal-Template-1.doc\">2025_AiR Proposal Template  (1)<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2025_AiR-Proposal-Template-1.doc\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-0260708e-43d4-45df-af55-0d83347573ed\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">_________________________________________________<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">For our Artists<\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">&#8230; Prospective School&#8217;s List<\/span><\/strong> (this list will be regularly updated)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please download, complete and return your Artist&#8217;s profile and select one or two schools from the list below for which you wish to be considered for a 2025 Arts Residency:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-b6f2611b-d32f-42ea-89cc-d17c795b8a29\" href=\"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/March-2025-_AiR-PROFILE-TEMPLATE-2.docx\">March-2025-_AiR-PROFILE-TEMPLATE (2)<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/March-2025-_AiR-PROFILE-TEMPLATE-2.docx\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-b6f2611b-d32f-42ea-89cc-d17c795b8a29\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*** <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Dawson Park Primary School, Forrestfield:  details available soon. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*** <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Durham Road School, Bayswater:  Visual Arts or Drama Residency. <\/span><\/strong>NB Durham Road School is an Education Support Setting and the project is framed around inclusion.

I appreciated how <strong>our&nbsp; Artists,&nbsp; Ross and Taylor<\/strong> considered the local community and environment in each stage of the project and then prioritised our students&#8217; authentic contribution to the artwork. The community response to the artwork has been wonderful, particularly watching children bring their parents in to show them where they added their own little design to the mural.<\/em> Paraburdoo Primary School from year groups 4 to 6 created a mural based on the local community and biodiversity of the surrounding area. The project was a hands-on interactive visual art experience that encouraged the children to express their own ideas about what their life in Paraburdoo is like. The focus was on a range of animals and flowers chosen by each class as their totem. For example, willy wag tail, magpie, crow, emu and eagle with flowers chosen from those found locally. The indigenous flag colours were used to express the school&#8217;s close connection to First Nations Culture and every child&#8217;s handprint conveys their experience of participating in the creation of the mural with pride in their accomplishment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"703\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Harmony-703x500.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-131385\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<mimas-block \n        block-name=\"media-slider\"\n        role=\"complementary\"\n        aria-label=\"Card plus media slider\"\n        data-segment=\"all\">\n\n        \n<div class=\"block-heading\"\n     data-segment=\"dom\"\n     data-style=\"\"\n     data-align=\"default\"\n>\n\n                        \n                        \n                                <div class=\"block-heading__content\"><p>A few illustrations of past residencies follow on our &#8216;slider&#8217; presentation (click the button to view the AiR site project details\/images) and also after our past participants list 2016-2023.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n            \n            \n                <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"media-slider__content\">\n        <div class=\"media-slider__items\">\n                            <div>\n                    <div  id=\"north-cottesloe-printmaking-project\" class=\"card\" data-type=\"\" aria-label=\"north-cottesloe-printmaking-project\"><div class=\"inner\"><div class=\"card__title\"><h3>North Cottesloe Printmaking Project<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"card__content\"><p>MCASI Artist Debra Perkins and Host Teacher Steph Matthews collaborated with yr 4 students at North Cottesloe Primary to produce a series of Screenprinting Portraits.<br \/>\nMCASI Artist Debra Perkins described the project as &#8220;a montage of screen prints of the &#8216;iconic people in the lives of the year 4 children.
