ArtLife Residency & Alumni
The ArtLife Residency program fostered d/Deaf and disabled artists with big ideas and bold ambitions to realise their professional goals. Working with dedicated facilitating artists and the support of the Footscray Community Arts Programming team, ArtLife Residents honed their skills, created portfolios, and worked towards ambitious and high-impact public outcomes.
