Nestled in a small clearing with sweeping views to the mountain ranges, there’s an instant connection with nature and a very obvious disconnection from the urban way of life.
Inspired by the belief that art makes the world a better place, Mill Cabin offers a 6 night residency each year. The residency program offers time and space for contemplation, creation and the development of new or existing work.
This residency is entirely self—directed and it will be just you and the (outside) wildlife for 6 nights. Please note, the cabin is on a 15 acre sub-alpine bush block and is 15 minutes from Jindabyne.
We ask that artists leave a statement about their experience as well as a small sketch or artwork—so we can showcase in the cabin.
It is the responsibility of the artist to buy their own food and arrange their own travel to and from Mill Cabin. There is an artist easel on site but all other materials must be supplied by the artist.
Mill Cabin is off the grid and equipped with solar panels to provide clean and guilt free electricity.
The cabin design is a nod to the old stockman huts of the Australian high country. They are a fixture of the alpine landscape connecting harmoniously to their surrounds. Built with humble means and function in mind, these simple huts represent a way of life. A realisation that having less can align us in the moment with clarity and contentment.
28 tonne of granite rock was hand selected from the land and hardwood timbers were sourced to build with. Mill Cabin is committed to treading lightly and ensuring that all methods from construction to operations are environmentally friendly.We believe that our collective impact on the planet should be as minimal as possible.
Immersed in 360º of seclusion means that the cabin is in the thick of some incredible wildlife. We respect their space and acknowledge that we are on their patch.
