Hello wonderful artists, Res Artis Members, friends and supporters,

We have some exciting news...


Res Artis is thrilled to announce the selection of four new global Board Members, hailing from diverse corners of the globe. They all bring in a respective wealth of expertise, gathered from their extensive experience in the international arts sector and beyond. The selection of Marnie Badham (Australia / Canada) as Secretary, Marie Fol (Brussels / France), Gordon Knox (United States) and Oyindamola Fakeye (Nigeria / United Kingdom) as Res Artis Board Members marks the final stages of our move, transitioning from our original home in the Netherlands to our global headquarters in Melbourne, Australia. They join Daniel Marro (Australia) who was appointed to the Board as Treasurer in 2021.

We would like to sincerely thank outgoing Secretary, Sophie Travers (Australia) and Chair, Lea O'Loughlin (United Kingdom) who were integral founding Board Members for Res Artis Limited. Their support, hard-work and dedication has been crucial in the establishment of this new Board, the transfer of our global headquarters and the ongoing development of Res Artis as the peak body of the global arts residency field.

Soon Res Artis will announce another Call Out to further extend the Board and ensure the composition of our Board represents the diversity of our global network. This will include a dedicated First Nations position.

At Res Artis we are feeling optimistic and excited as we develop new strategies and goals in an effort to further support our growing Member base. We are committed to assisting in the growth of the arts residency sector, ensuring that artist-support, accessibility and inclusion are at the fore of current and future conversations and policy production.


The world is opening up and things are feeling possible again.

With warmth,

Eliza Dawson
Executive Director,
Res Artis
