Australian Antarctic Arts Fellowship

2026 Arts Fellowship ::
Expressions of Interest (EOI) Open 15 December  

The Australian Antarctic Arts Fellowship is part of the Australian Antarctic Program and has been running since 1984, with additional support provided by ANAT since 2017. The Arts Fellowship aims to increase awareness and appreciation of Antarctica, the sub-Antarctic and the Southern Ocean.

As one of Australia’s most unique residency experiences, the Arts Fellowship enables artists and creative professionals to travel south to conduct research for the development of creative outcomes.

Communicating through various media including, but not limited to, visual arts, film, performance, writing and music, fellows share valuable insight to deepen understanding of the Antarctic region with Australian and international audiences.

ANAT supports Arts Fellows with $5000 towards their project.
