Parramatta Artists' Studios

About Parramatta Artists Studios

Parramatta Artists’ Studios (PAS) is the energetic home for creative production in Western Sydney. We empower and equip artists to build thriving and sustainable creative lives. We nurture ideas and experimentation, supporting artists to take risks. We work to establish and strengthen peer and professional communities in the contemporary art sector.

We have supported hundreds of artists since opening in 2006 and have a growing community of alumni who are at the forefront of contemporary artistic practice in Australia.

Through our supported studio facilities in Granville and Rydalmere, as well as our digital residencies, we offer studio tenancies, residencies, career development opportunities and community-connected programs. These programs connect artists with Parramatta’s wider communities and contribute to its vibrant culture.

PAS Rydalmere offers two-year tenancies and PAS Granville offers one-year tenancies to Studio Artists. We welcome applications from Western Sydney and Greater Sydney artists through annual call-outs.
