MILL CABIN Artist in residence

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.

This residency is held in the month of September and is open to artists living in Australia and working in the discipline of Fine Art, Ceramics, Textiles and Sculpture.

To apply simply fill out the below and tell us a little about your practice and what you would like to get out of a one week residency at Mill Cabin.

Please note, we prefer links to your work whether it be your website or instagram, however if you do not have either please email with a small attachment—files must be kept small to: millcabin.crackenback@gmail.com

We thank you for taking the time to express your interest, while we would love to reply to each and every entry it is unfortunately beyond our administrative capacity. We will however be in touch with the successful artist as soon as we have selected a successful entrant.

Entries will close Midnight on the 30th of April 2025.

The most tranquil and peaceful place I think I’ve ever stayed. Surrounded by snow gums and overlooking snow-capped mountains, Mill Cabin is a truly special place. Perfectly at home in nature, but incredibly comfortable and well-appointed. We honestly never wanted to leave - such a blissful few days here.

AMAZING!!! By the far the most amazing place we have stayed.Trent and Niki have created such an incredible Airbnb - highly recommend.The location is completely secluded but close enough to head to the snow or into town if you’d like. The cabin has everything you need from cooking utensils/staples, fire wood, board games, beautiful styling, and the most amazing scenery/view.Definitely an experience we won’t ever forget - I can’t wait to stay here again :)

Mill Cabin was just pure serenity. We were greeted by wallabies, hopping around in the early snow, then entered the cabin to find the most delightful sanctuary. Every detail was considered, from the textures of the towels to the beautiful ceramics in the kitchen. We absolutely loved the design of the cabin, nestled into the gum trees, taking in the magnificent views from every window. We feel revived & indulged, the perfect place to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. Thank you Niki & Trent for a gorgeous experience.

"Can’t recommend Mill Cabin highly enough; the space is beautiful, peaceful and sparkling clean, with high quality products and thoughtful touches. The surrounds are pristine, wonderfully quiet and absolutely private. There is wildlife (kangaroos, deer and even a wombat!) that approach quite close to the cabin and really add to the experience. Communication with Niki was effortless and she was able to provide me lots of helpful info on the area. I feel nourished and very well rested after my 5 night stay- a much needed detox from city life. Will definitely return."
