The Anzac Memorial Veteran Artist in Residence program offers contemporary veterans with established creative practices the opportunity to engage with the Memorial and the broader community through an artwork or project.
The guest veteran artist (or group) will have a unique chance to explore the Memorial's architecture, history and artefacts as part of a creative project that reflects on and interprets Australian military experience, the Anzac Memorial and/or memorialisation.
We welcome project proposals across a broad variety of creative formats including:
- Music composition
- Written works such as poetry and prose
- Performance and theatrical work
- Film, animation and video
- Visual art, including painting, graphic art and photography
There is a small grant attached to the Residency to assist a guest veteran artist (or group) to develop their work.
Applications for the 2026 Residency will open in early 2026.
