The Bruny Island Residency, run by the Bruny Island Foundation for the Arts in Tasmania, Australia, offered four-week supported residencies in and for artists across disciplines like visual arts, writing, music, and film, with projects focused on Bruny Island. Residencies took place at locations such as Honeycomb Cottage in Adventure Bay and Ventnor Homestead in Lunawanna, while the Cape Bruny Residency was held at a former lighthouse keeper's cottage in South Bruny Island National Park in partnership with the Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service. These programs evolved into the BRUNY20 Arts Fellowship from -, providing opportunities for Australian artists to explore environmental themes.
