Since its inception in 2015, 24 local artists have taken part in the month long program.

Eight artists have since taken on longer term residencies at CASM.

The residency program allows artists to consolidate their arts practice over the course of a year culminating in the presentation of a solo exhibition.

This year’s collective artists include Noela O’Keefe, Anthea Fitzhardinge, Chelsea Turner and popular artist group the Tiny Shops on Wheels featuring Denise Fisher, Lisa Wray, Elli Moody, Hilly Coufreur and Karen Morgan.
