“The generous support of my Megalo residency allowed for dedicated time to experiment and to generate new ideas. This led to four bodies of work shown in a solo show at Megalo; and some being finalists in the 65th Fisher's Ghost Award at Campbelltown Arts Centre, and the Burnie Print Prize in Tasmania. The residency had had a significant and enduring effect on my confidence and practice.”

With over 45 years supporting artists and a 20-year history of hosting national and international residencies, Megalo continues to be a vital space for experimentation, skill-sharing and creative growth.

Megalo’s core values—access, experimentation, and critical engagement—continue to guide our work. Print remains an inherently democratic form: it resists singular authorship, thrives on circulation, and invites collective participation. In that spirit, we recommit to building equity across our programs, deepening our support for artists of diverse backgrounds, and expanding what print can do and who it can speak to. 

"Our residency at Megalo was an unforgettable experience that deeply nourished our collaborative practice. The time, space, and access to world-class printmaking facilities allowed us to push the boundaries of our practice. What truly stood out, though, was the staff! Each person was incredibly generous, attentive, and affirming. They uplifted not only our needs but our spirits, creating a space where we felt seen, supported, and free to explore. Megalo’s environment fostered both artistic growth and a profound sense of belonging."

“My residency at Megalo was a splendid experience. I was able to spontaneously experiment with screen printing, expand on my habitual ways of working and delve into a Megalo specific iteration of a social project. I tried lithography for the first time and was enchanted. I remain connected to the excellent Megalo team through the ongoing Dub Freight project.”
