ArtsLab08

Are you a groundbreaking artist?

Create the work you’re dreaming about
Make the film, record the album, write the play, build
the project, perform the role, make it happen.


From rock n roll revolution to spoken word, social change to concrete sculptures, dancing about architecture to performing about heartbreak – ArtsLab08 is an intensive laboratory and one year hot housing residency inviting seven young artists from across Australia to set the pace for a new generation.

You’ll spend a year getting connected, refining your skills and being part of an innovative community.

Expressions of interest of ArtsLab08 are now open – call TJ Eckleberg on (02) 9588 3948 or email ad(at)shopfront.org.au. Scholarships available on application.

It was the most awesome thing… a safe-house for my risk-taking. I got to make my own work and meet lots of cool artists....It was just fan-bloody-tastic!
– Sarah Emery, ArtsLab07 artist

The final product was a refined, polished, flawless work that exhibited the raw talent of the individuals whom it featured…Who says young people can’t create amazing, thought provoking pieces of theatre and performance? If you were a critic, then the work of ArtsLab07 gives you no greater incentive to become a believer.
