Lighthouse Arts invites all artist alumni who have undertaken a residency at the Nobbys-Whibayganba headland cottages to submit works to be considered for inclusion in the ‘House of Stories’ exhibition.

Since inception, Lighthouse Arts, located on the iconic, elemental landscape of the Nobbys-Whibayganba headland, has extended an invitation to artists of diverse backgrounds, age, art practice, and geographies to gift themselves the rare opportunity of time purely focused on creative practice. Over 450 artists have taken up the call to create, either in a one-week intensive block, or one day per week over four to six weeks. 

In celebration of the writers, artists and this remarkable space, Lighthouse Arts is hosting its first exhibition of artworks from artists who have had a residency at Nobbys-Whibayganba headland.

Works will be selected with a curatorial emphasis on the diversity of artists, artworks, and artistic practice. Taken as a whole, we aim for the exhibition to highlight the impact the Lighthouse Arts residency has on artistic practice. While we love the lighthouse, it is not important for the lighthouse to be depicted within the exhibition. It is anticipated approximately 40 works will be selected for the exhibition, dependent on the size of works and the availability of the hanging system.

Let your imagination run. We welcome journals, handwritten notes, small studies, practice works, series, and finished pieces. Where possible, all works will be available for sale unless advised otherwise from the submitting artist.

Please see below for information on the terms and conditions and the submission process.
