Please call us on (03) 9496 1060 or email bundoorahomestead@darebin.vic.gov.au or visit us at 7 Prospect Hill Drive, Bundoora VIC to let us know if you require an alternative form of application. This will likely be a paper form, which we can post to you or assist you with filling it out in person.

Unfortunately, Bundoora Homestead’s Heritage walls are unsuitable for affixing anything heavier than 2kg. Each gallery has gallery tracking, and any works that need to be hung will need to be fitted with D-rings to hang from our tracking system. We do have a few moveable walls which can be nailed into, however, these will need to be shared across all exhibitions at the Homestead.

Unfortunately, Bundoora Homestead’s Heritage ceilings aren’t able to be hung from. Our tracking system can hold up to 50kg across one wall. We recommend chatting with our Curator before you submit your proposal should your work be heavier than 100kg.

We have a selection of plinths, moveable walls, televisions and media players, and two projectors with sound equipment. We have one large glass cabinet with three shelves. We also have a tracking system for hanging paintings and framed (or unframed) works fitted with D-rings.

Yes! We welcome inclusion of public programs as part of your project, including artist talks, short seminars, professional development opportunities for our audiences or workshops. However, you will need to seek additional funding for any public programs.

We will let both successful and unsuccessful applicants know by April 2025.

We have a range of opportunities, including this EOI. Every two years, we host the A1 Darebin Art Salon which is open to people who live, work, study or base their art practice in Darebin. Every alternate year, we host the Darebin Art Prize, which is open to practicing artists from across Australia. Other artist opportunities can be found on the Darebin Arts website here. There are also a number of grants available from the City of Darebin, which you can read more about here.

Exhibition proposals will be assessed by a panel comprising the Bundoora Homestead Art Centre Coordinator, Curator, and external arts professionals covering artistic and curatorial expertise.

A creative CV should include a list of projects that relate to your practice over the time that you have been practicing. They can also include relevant work experience, successful grants, fellowships or formal and informal education.

We want our exhibitions and creative projects to be as accessible as possible to a wide range of audiences, which means that marketing or exhibition copy should be written in plain English (not art-speak).
