The Hutchinson Indigenous Fellowship and Residency is designed to support a Victorian Aboriginal emerging artist with financial support to explore ideas and develop skills that will realise new iterations of cultural practice and development and build their practice into the future.
Artistic practices can include (but are not be limited to) the visual arts; music; creative writing - including fiction, film, theatre and dance performance, and other practices generally understood to be part of the arts and cultural practice.
This fellowship will provide a grant, paid in two instalments, to the early-career creative individual who can demonstrate exceptional talent, have produced work of scholarly and professional merit and who show genuine promise for developing a continuing practice of creative work.
Candidates for the Fellowship are expected to:
- Be an Indigenous arts practitioner (Visual or Performing)
- Reside in Victoria during the term of the Fellowship
- Preferably have a personal or ancestral connection to Victoria.
- Have a successful record over at least three years as an Indigenous arts practitioner; a degree in a relevant discipline would be favourably viewed.

The final Creative Work or research output produced during, or resulting from the Fellowship must be reported within a completion statement to the Faculty.
