Conduct a Workshop with your Residency

As part of your Artist's Residency, you may wish to conduct a workshop. Workshops have the potential to offset fees for residency up to $260 for a two-hour workshop, subject to the workshop filling to capacity. Residency Workshops are advertised to the local and tourist market.

You may be able to deduct a $260 facilitator fee from your residency accommodation costs if

  • The workshop is approved by BHAE

  • The workshop fills to cost-covering level

What happens if the workshop does not fill?

BHAE will take bookings up to 6 weeks before the date of your residency (or by negotiation if time is short).

If the numbers in the workshop do not cover costs the BHAE reserves the right to cancel the workshop OR run the workshop at a reduced fee in negotiation with the facilitator.

Workshop acceptance is subject to BHAE approval.

Approval is dependent on space availability, appropriateness of the workshop to fit within the BHAE workshop program, and availability of resources.
