| Studios: OLD CUSTOMS HOUSE, FREMANTLE
Old Customs House is home for 20 artist
studios; plus our artsource Fremantle office and several other
arts organisations such as NOVA Ensemble, Bizircus and Circus WA. Old Customs House is
located at 8 Phillimore Street, Fremantle in a heritage building
(high ceilings, old plumbing and windows that open) just along
from the train station and across from the working Fremantle
Ports.
| 
Given that studios are rented for 5
year terms, only 3 or 4 studios become vacant each year.
Applications for studios close in February or March
each year and are assessed by a panel of artists and
art industry professionals.
Eligibility and selection criteria are
as follows:
- Selection is based on artistic excellence
and potential based on support material presented
- Applications are open to professional
practicing visual artists who are WA residents
- Applicants must be members of artsource
and membership must be maintained for the duration
of studio tenancy
- Studios must be used for a minimum
of 20 hours per week
- Studios are not available for full-time
students, although studio based masters students are
