All That We Are
Sandford, Australia
All That We Are is a dynamic, community-engaged, and immersive arts practice located in Sandford, Tasmania. Founded by Simon Spain and Victoria Ryle, the residency is dedicated to fostering creativity through a variety of artistic and community-oriented practices. Their philosophy centers on the belief that creativity is crucial for forming profound and enriching connections within oneself and the community.
The program offers creative residencies for over 25 artists each year, providing spaces such as a self-contained studio and a library within their home, and the newly established Shaper Studio. The residencies are designed for both individual artists and groups, and are particularly suitable for visual artists, writers, researchers, and musicians.
Artists are encouraged to immerse themselves in their practices, reflect on their creative processes, and engage with the vibrant Tasmanian art scene. The Shaper Studio, a distinctive feature of the residency, offers a large live/work space with stunning natural light and scenic views, promoting a blend of artistic endeavor and personal reflection.
Specialized workshops, professional development, and creative coaching are also integral parts of the residency, helping artists to hone their skills, develop new ideas, and collaborate on community projects. The inclusive environment supports artists from various disciplines, facilitating a multidisciplinary exchange of ideas and cultural dialogues.
