Ed Tweddell Studio Residency

The late Dr Ed Tweddell was a generous supporter of visual artists and contemporary visual arts practice and had a particular and practical interest in supporting the career development of South Australian artists.

Artists seeking to develop new work for an exhibition or other specified project are invited to apply for rent-free use of the studio for a period of six months.

Additionally, recipients receive three hours of paid mentorship with a studio resident of their choice to use at some point across their six month residency.

An initiative of Central Studios Inc, the Ed Tweddell Studio is supported by the Government of South Australia through the Department of the Premier and Cabinet.

Current Recipient

Fruzsi Kenez

Fruzsi is using her residency to develop a trio of human-sized ceramic totem poles inspired by Hungarian folklore for her first interstate solo exhibition at SOL Gallery in Naarm, while also producing an ambitious body of mixed-media work for her February 2027 exhibition at Sauerbier Gallery. Her practice explores Hungarian folk beliefs, domesticity and gendered labour through hand-built ceramics, cast metal, natural fibres and textiles, alongside her ongoing mentorship of young First Nations artist Iteka Sanderson Bromley.
