Getaroom @ Frontyard
You have a provocation to explore. A project to begin. A local problem to solve. A team of pro-active people to assemble. We have the space and a network of people to connect you with.
Frontyard is a space for research, imagining, problem-solving, doing & not doing, meeting, talking, and making time. There are 2 short-term (1-2 weeks) residency spaces for artists and non-artists, and an open door policy for hosting people in our workshop, garden and library if your project needs a place to grow after your residency ends.
In return for the space and time to think, Frontyard asks for a small gift of time from each resident. That could mean participating as a provocateur in a futuring session, giving a public talk, sharing skills via a workshop, symposium, film night, performance, or something else you think is important for the community.
Learn how to book your residency below.

Booking your residency
We have a ‘no application’ policy, so as long as you are happy to sign our MoU and we can find a time slot that suits, you’re in! We prefer to meet you face to face first, unless you are too far away to drop in. Come along to our monthly Open House (last Sunday of each month, from 1-3pm) or drop us an email to make time for a cuppa.
What we ask from you.
- Fill out our Google form so we have your contact details, and sign our MoU
- book an induction with us via email or Slack before your residency starts
- Send us 1-2 sentences about what you’ll be working and an image, so we can put it on our website and Insta
- Upload images and text you want to share to our Flickr archive when you’re in residence
- Tell us when and what you want to do as a ‘gift of time’ for the Frontyard community - you don’t need to know before you start so no rush!
New resident digital access checklist
Make sure new residents have access to:
- The Frontyard Slack Channel
- An account for this wiki
- Add the residency to the list above
