TAIR Mallacoota
Teacher Artist In Residence (TAIR) Mallacoota is an annual artist in residence program for Visual Arts teachers. TAIR Mallacoota has been developed in recognition of Visual Arts teachers as both artists and teachers and aims to provide Australian Visual Arts teachers with an opportunity to further their own artistic practice in a beautiful, peaceful environment.
Who can apply?
TAIR Mallacoota 2026 is open to all Visual Arts Teachers who are currently teaching in a NSW school. Individual teachers can apply for a solo residency or a group of up to 4 teachers can apply to attend the residency together.
If applying for a solo residency artists have the option to bring their family to stay with them while they complete the residency.
Mallacoota is located on the boarder of NSW and Victoria, therefore TAIR Mallacoota will alternate between inviting teachers to participate from NSW and Victoria.
In 2027 the residency will be open to all Visual Arts Teachers in Victoria.

TAIR 2025
The first TAIR Artist in Residence was Kim Marcovitch.
"The TAIR Residency gave me the kickstart I needed to get my own art making practice going again. I have been teaching Visual Arts for 20 years now and I have not had the opportunity to engage in my own art practice. The Mallacoota art community was supportive, kind and encouraging in helping me pursue my artistic goals."
Kim Marcovitch, 2025
