Residencies
2018 and 2019
In 2018 and 2019 the Bruny Island Foundation invited artists across a broad range of disciplines (visual artists, writers, musicians, multi form) to complete a supported residency for four weeks. Two residencies were offered in each year.
The Cape Bruny Residency took place in the South Bruny Island National Park in 2018 and 2019. This residency was offered in partnership with the Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service. Accommodation for the residency was a former lighthouse keeper's cottage (Q1) at Cape Bruny.
The Bruny Island Residency took place at Honeycomb Cottage in Adventure Bay in 2018 and Ventnor Homestead in Lunawanna in 2019.
The success of these residencies helped shape the format for BRUNY20.

Art Prizes
'The Bruny’ was a unique national art prize, focused specifically on painting that explores concepts of identity and environment, including the relationship between people and the physical world.
In 2018, the broad theme of the prize was the 'Art of Adaptation', which encompasses the way communities negotiate challenges such as climate adaptation.
The winner of BRUNY18 was awarded $20,000.
BRUNY16 and BRUNY18 were outstanding successes thanks to the participation of hundreds of artists from all over Australia; the integrity, expertise and commitment of our esteemed judges; the support from the Bruny Island community; and the generosity of our sponsors.
The success of 'The Bruny', as well as some of the limitations of the conventional art prize format, has shaped the development of BRUNY20.
