Bundanon Artist in Residence Program

Period: 2022.5.2-11

Bundanon is situated in an ancient landscape.

[Bundanon is] a special place of Aboriginal significance – where hinterlandt meets the coastal
plain, where the saltwater meets the fresh, it’s where our language groups – the Dharawal and
Dhurga met, but most importantly it’s where people would come and meet.
– Noel Webster, Yuin Walbunja

Bundanon was created as an organisation to support creativity and learning in a unique cultural
and natural landscape. It stretches across two sites along the Shoalhaven River.
Arthur and Yvonne Boyd’s gift of Bundanon has given Australia a unique cultural and environmental
asset. Born out of Boyd’s often stated belief that ýou can’t own a landscape’, and the wish that others
might also draw inspiration from this remarkable place.
The Artist in Residence program is the result of the Boyds’ generous act, with the express aim that
artists of all disciplines might experience the beauty of the Shoalhaven and be inspired to develop and
make new work. We welcome approximately 350 artists to the residency program each year.

.. A place for the community to enjoy the bush and the river, and a place to be used as a forum
where those from every facet from the arts and sciences could get together.
– Arthur Boyd
