Call for Applications Open :: 2025 ANAT Synapse residency program

When art collides with science and technology, magic happens. ANAT is now calling for applications to the 2025 ANAT Synapse residency program and welcomes submissions from Australian artists who work in any genre with conceptual aims that intersect and deeply engage with science and/or technology.  

The program brings artists and researchers together in partnerships that generate new knowledge, ideas and processes beneficial beyond both fields. A distinguishing feature of the residencies is their creative research focus, with applicants supported in collaborative experimentation rather than anticipating or producing specific outcomes.

To ensure suitability between the artist and host organisation, a joint application must be submitted, led by the artist. It is the responsibility of the artist to identify the nature of the proposed research collaboration and establish a dialogue with their intended host prior to application. 

The successful artist will undertake the residency in 2025 across 16 weeks full time (or the part time equivalent). 

How to Apply

The program is highly competitive. We encourage you to read the application guidelines carefully. We also recommend you read the FAQs before applying.  If you have any questions that aren’t covered in the guidelines and FAQs, or would like further clarification about applying, please contact us at the details below.

To apply, complete the online application form by 3 pm ACDT, Wednesday 6 November 2024.
