About the Incubator Artist Residency 

Incubator is a short-term residency program based at The Imaginarium, a creative space in Shellharbour Village. It provides emerging artists with the dedicated space and time to cultivate new work, explore ideas and develop their practice.

2026 Incubator Artist Residencies will open for submission during January - February 2026. Subscribe to the Arts and Culture E-Newsletter and stay up to date.

Incubator residencies will run for four weeks and are open to artists and creative practitioners working in any form. Artists will receive exclusive access to The Imaginarium during the residency period and a $5000 stipend toward artist fees and material costs.
