WFAC 2027 STUDIOS + RESIDENCIES PROGRAM
Our Studio Program offers artists from all disciplines the opportunity to explore and develop works and ideas, working in a studio located at WFAC.
In this artist-led program, artists are matched to one of our studios best-suited to their practice for durations varying from one to six months, and join a welcoming, innovative, diverse and collegiate artistic community.
The Studios
There are 9 working studios located at WFAC which are accessible 7 days a week, 9am–5pm.
Studios vary in size, suitability and availability, depending on an artist’s proposed activities, and are located on the ground floor as well as the upper levels of the building which are accessible only by stairs, and outdoors on the grounds of WFAC.

Artists may receive resource support for public programming or other events related to their residency in negation with WFAC.
