TAKEOVER returns in 2027, inviting artists and creatives to explore the possibilities within The Old Ambulance Station in Nambour.
Four supported residencies are available across four unique spaces, providing opportunities to experiment, create, collaborate and explore new ideas.
The four spaces are:
- The Black Box Theatre
- Ramp Space
- Gallery
- Little Ambo
Each residency includes a $2,000 artist stipend, access to one of the spaces and support from The Old Ambo team.
TAKEOVER is designed to support experimentation, creative exploration and the development of new work. Artists are encouraged to propose projects that test ideas, explore different directions in their practice, develop performances or imagine new uses for the available spaces.
The program prioritises the development of new work and ideas rather than the presentation of existing or completed projects. There is no expectation of a finished or polished outcome; the creative process is considered just as important as the result.
Proposals are welcomed from artists and creatives working across all disciplines.
- EOIs close: 11 January 2027
- Applicants notified: By 3 February 2027
- Residency period: 8 March – 10 April 2027
