Join us for the launch of the 2023 program which will invite early-mid career creatives who live, work or practice in Casey, Cardinia or Dandenong to expand an arts-based practice and explore new ways of working while creating high-quality outcomes and experiences.
Applications will open Saturday 4 February and close Monday 20 March, midnight.
Commissioned artists will receive financial support, mentorship and networking opportunities and work closely with the Bunjil Place team to present outcomes in September 2023
Commission tiers range from $4,000 to $14,000.
New Ground 2022 saw the creation of six multi-artform projects presented at Bunjil Place Studio, Digital Wall and Library including:
- a site-responsive dance film presented on the Digital Wall
- three-part documentary series featuring young artists from the South East
- a live dance experience illustrating the nuances of growing up as a Vietnamese-Australian artist in the South East suburbs
- a large-scale collage created through community workshops
- a live performance of an excerpt from a feature length poetry collection
- a portrait series capturing four local artists who are making an impact in the community accompanied by a panel discussion
Artists, curators, performers and collectives working in any creative background who are interested in the program are invited to join us to gain insight and inspiration from members of the Bunjil Place team and the 2022 cohort.
Enjoy presentations by the Bunjil Place Arts team and artists from the 2022 New Ground cohort plus an opportunity to ask questions, network and have a bite to eat.
Audience members who attend the launch will receive a complimentary ticket to watch the 2022 New Ground cohort films and the Multicultural Film Festival screenings at the Bunjil Place Outdoor Screen Plaza from 6.00 pm onwards. Find out more here .
