NGA National Young Writers Digital Residency launches

The National Young Writers Program at the NGA has just launched its 2024 digital residency for 16 early career arts writers and creatives.

It’s been a really productive last 12 months reflecting on the pilot mentorship program and taking those learnings forward to deepen and extend the program offering.

The residency will introduce participants to a range of critical writing practices and ideas through the Gallery’s exhibition program, with each session co-curated by invited guest editors and writers.

Participants will have opportunities to respond to regular writing prompts, with feedback and mentoring, as well as paid writing commissions for the Gallery’s website.

I’m incredibly excited too, that Artlink magazine is joining us as Publishing Partner this year with some incredible opportunities for program alumni to come later this year.

Guest writers, editors and artists include Art Guide Australia editor Tiarney Miekus; arts writer, curator and Memo Review editor Amelia Winata; arts writer Tom Melick; writer, poet and researcher Charmaine Papertalk Green; and artist Lindy Lee.
