Pearl Beach is a beautiful bushland village on the NSW Central Coast. The Pearl Beach Arboretum is running it 4th Environmental Art Trail from 22 March to the 27 April 2025 (@PBEAT2025).
A special part of PBEAT2025 will be ‘Artist in Residence’; and ‘Local Emerging Artist’ initiatives; made possible through Central Coast Council's ‘Creative Art Central’ Program. The successful artist in residence applicant will receive a $5,000 artist fee plus $2,000 towards two weeks accommodation in Pearl Beach. The Artist in Residence will be required to run at least two community or school workshops and will also mentor the ‘Emerging Local Artist. The recently upgraded “Crommelin Cottage” at the Arboretum will be the PBEAT2025 “Artist in Residence” Studio.
The successful ‘Local Emerging Artist’ must live on the Central Coast and will receive a $2,500 artist fee in return for 5 days being assisting the ‘Artist in Residence’ and 5 days creating their own work.
