Part of this relationship includes an annual residency at the La Trobe University Visual Arts Centre in Bendigo.
Each year since one of the winners of the Ateneo Art Awards, the most prestigious art award in the Philippines, has been invited to live at the VAC for six weeks.
While in residence, the winning artist creates new work for the gallery’s annual exhibition program.
The 2016 VAC Ateneo Art Gallery artist in residence exhibition, by Ryan Villamael, is currently showing at the View Street gallery.
To celebrate the successful decade-long partnership, all of the artists who have undertaken the residency since 2005 have been invited to return to Bendigo for a reunion exhibition at the VAC in March 2017.
