In 2019, fourteen Australian and international artists immersed themselves in the ATW's vibrant studio environment for its annual Artists in Residence program. During the residency, participating artists have the opportunity to exchange knowledge and skills with our tapestry weavers and engage with local communities.
'AIR19' highlights the broad scope of mediums explored by the 2019 artists in residence – from sculpture, weaving and music to drawings and jewellery. The exhibition presents the diverse outcomes as accomplished through the residency program, and how this unique experience has led to the creation of new contemporary artworks with aesthetic, political or social focuses.

We are pleased to provide a virtual tour of the exhibition and the ATW weaving floor. To assist the ATW during this challenging time, we ask that tour viewers with the capacity to do so make a donation of $10 – the cost of our usual guided tour tickets.
