Applications are now open for The Guildhouse Collections Project with FABRIK.
The Guildhouse Collections Project with FABRIK provides a paid opportunity for an artist, craftsperson, or designer to explore and research FABRIK’s extensive historic, cultural, and living collections, and in response, develop new work(s) for presentation at FABRIK in February 2026.
Based in Lobethal, FABRIK manages significant cultural collections including items relating to the historic Onkaparinga Woollen Mill, cultural and community collections, and living collections that reflect the spaces, places and people that are deeply connected to FABRK in the present day.
The successful artist will receive an artist fee of $7,500. A printed catalogue, in addition to digital documentation of the project and its creative processes and outcomes, will accompany the exhibition.
The participating artist will be supported by staff at both Guildhouse and FABRIK and will be connected in with representatives from both organisations.
The Guildhouse Collections Project with FABRIK is supported by CreateSA.
Guidelines can be found on the Guildhouse website.
Applications must be made via the online application form also on the Guildhouse website. Please read the project Guidelines before forming your application.
