Braidwood
Arts- Residencies
Nestled on 16 acres on the edge of town, Braidwood Arts is a collection of buildings with views across the landscape to the eastern mountains of the Southern Tablelands. Ample architect designed accommodation, an etching press, workshops set in gardens with abundant wildlife, all makes for an ideal space for teaching or guests on artist residencies. We are off-grid, self-sufficient in power, water, and with wood heating in winter and ample summer swimming in the Lilly- clad dam on the property or in the nearby Shoalhaven River.
Located in the southern tablelands of New South Wales, Braidwood is a picturesque town of significant heritage dating back to early 1800s. It is an hour from the National capital of Canberra, and hour from the beautiful beaches of the south coast, and two hours from the southern Alps of the snow fields. It has a significant artist population, with national and international talents calling it their home, enjoying galleries and food lover’s delights.
