Do I need to be an established artist to book a session?
Not at all! These sessions are designed for artists at any stage, whether you're just starting out or already exhibiting regularly.

Can I book a one-off mentoring session?
Yes. Many artists start with a single session and then book more later if they want to dive deeper.

Can we do everything over Zoom?
Yes! Most services, including mentoring, strategy, and content planning, can be done remotely. We'll just ask for any images or documents ahead of time.

What if I don't like being on camera or filmed?
That’s totally fine! We’ll work with whatever you’re comfortable with and find a style that suits you, whether that’s photos only, hands-only process reels, or written content.

Can I build my own package?
Absolutely. If you'd like to mix photography, mentoring, and content in a way that suits your needs, just get in touch and we’ll work out a custom quote.

How do I book or get started?

Selected artists are invited to:

• Work in our dedicated studio space, located between the gallery and the house

• Focus on their own creative development during the residency

• Offer a workshop or community event (optional)

Residencies typically run for 2–3 weeks, and are carefully curated to suit each artist's needs.

You’ll also receive:

• A blog interview and behind-the-scenes content shared across our digital channels

• Promotion through our newsletter, website, Instagram and local event listings

• A discounted commission rate on artwork sold during your residency period

Our audience is national, with strong online engagement across Australia. The program is ideal for artists looking to step away from their routine, build momentum in their practice, and take part in a supported, artist-focused experience.

Residencies are offered four times per year, :

• Summer – Late January

• Autumn – May

• Winter – July

• Spring – September

Orange is known for its stunning natural beauty and distinct four seasons, from crisp, golden autumns to snow-dusted winters, colourful spring blooms and vibrant summer skies. Our first residency opportunity begins in January, and we’re currently accepting expressions of interest. Each season brings something unique to the Orange region, and we encourage artists to engage with the local environment, pace, and mood during their stay.

Artists have the option to stay onsite in a beautifully designed, mid-to-high end home located just behind the gallery. You’ll have exclusive use of the bottom floor, and the house to yourself, which includes a private bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, living area and courtyard leading to the gallery. The space is quiet, comfortable, close to everything, and ideal for artists looking to combine their exhibition with focused studio time or rest.

Accommodation is available as an optional add-on, and fees are kept affordable. If you prefer to make your own arrangements, you're absolutely welcome to find alternative accommodation in town.

Artists are expected to be present during their exhibition and to staff the gallery during open hours. This model allows the artist complete ownership over their exhibition experience and full immersion in their practice.

We understand that artists are often balancing other work or family commitments, so we tailor residency plans around your needs and availability.

We’re currently accepting expressions of interest for 2026. To apply, send the following to cornerstoregallery@outlook.com:

• Your name, contact details, and website/Instagram

• Artist CV and bio

• A short statement about your practice and why you’d like to do a residency

• 5 - 8 images of recent work
