International Artist Residencies

The Broken Hill Art Exchange operates an International Artist Residency that so far has hosted visiting artists from the UK, Japan, Belgium, Jamaica, Switzerland, the US and Ireland. When the Art Exchange was founded in 2001 residential artists stayed in the homes of volunteers. Today it offers a combination of studio spaces and accommodation in the centre of Broken Hill (the old Grand Hotel), and at the South Side Art Centre, on Duff Street Park. 


Works produced and/or researched by artists while in residence at the Broken Hill Art Exchange have been exhibited in many leading international art events such as the Venice Biennale, the Biennale of Sydney, Bondi Sculptures by the Sea and the Tate Modern, London. Artists work in all media and genres including film & video, music & sound production, painting & drawing, sculpture and environmental art. 


The Broken Hill Art Exchange consists of a variety of different sized living and studio spaces. There is ample work space with WiFi access. A meeting/conference room can be made available, as well as a large workshop space if artists wish to conduct community workshops or have an exhibition. BHAE's vibrant art spaces offer many opportunities for collaboration and inspiration, while also maintaining a quiet and productive work space when required.


The residency in the heart of the city is in a 1880's retasked hotel. There is acommunal kitchen, loungeroom and bathroom facilities for single, dorm and queen rooms, and there are four ensuite rooms as well. Each room has a correlating work room the size of our single rooms. We have a gallery space and studios in our courtyard which are charged separately, and the accommodation is simple and economic.
