Sydney, Australia: Carriageworks, one of Australia’s most significant contemporary multi-arts organisations, today announced 10 artists who will be the 2024 artists-in-residence at the Carriageworks Clothing Store building. Established in 2017, the program provides artists working at the forefront of contemporary practice with studio space in the heart of North Eveleigh.
