ANAT Synapse residency program art + science + technology
ANAT is a South Australia-based global leader in brokering opportunities for artists to work with science and technology partners, who are inspired by their belief that ‘artists are essential to how we imagine and shape our future’. Since 2004, the ANAT Synapse residency program has been at the forefront of fostering new research partnerships between artists, scientists and technologists, allowing for the generation of new knowledge, ideas and processes, beneficial to both fields. ANAT’s program includes residencies, symposia, workshops, exhibitions, artist commissions, fellowships and networking events.
This month ANAT is calling for applications from Australian artists and researchers to become part of the 2022 Synapse residency program, which is scheduled for April to December 2022. Synapse residencies will be conducted over 16 weeks full-time, the equivalent part-time or in discrete blocks for a longer duration through 2022.
ANAT will support participating artists with $4,400 per month (or part-time equivalent) and will also contribute to project material costs, accommodation expenses and return travel to the destination of the residency, if required. The host organisation will provide in-kind access to staff and equipment, as well as space and resources, and will assist with disseminating outcomes at the conclusion of the residency. Successful applicants will be notified on March 9, 2022.
