Some notes about what we are planning to do

We envisage that our annual program will be a combination of professional practice and community cultural development which is in keeping with our backgrounds. We want the church to be used regularly, thereby enabling it to be conserved and we want to continue our practices in our retirement. We will not be profit making but hope to generate enough income from some of the activities to maintain use of the church by ourselves and other artists throughout the year.

Projects we are planning so far include a bursury program for visual art post graduate students with the selected artist undertaking a residency in the church studio, a social history project to collect and present the stories of people who were married in the church, a floating paper kiln project - paper kilns are constructed and floated on the Huon River - small pots are fired in them. We also plan to run occassional short workshops, give talks and present exhibitions. Some projects may culminate in an exhibition or installation. We are open to taking small regional touring exhibitions and to other types of residencies e.g. writing.

We expect to run our first bursury residency program later this year.
