Hill End Residency


Joanna Logue has been awarded a Hill End Residency (Haefliger's Cottage) for the month of October through to November 2010 in conjunction with the Bathurst Regional Art Gallery’s residency program.

Background


In March 1991, artist Jean Bellette died in her home on the island of Majorca. Earlier, the Hill End cottage that she shared with her husband Paul Haefliger was bequeathed to the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, the organisation that has managed the historic site at Hill End since 1967. A condition of the bequest was that the cottage remain an artist's retreat. Haefligers' cottage is largely unaltered with works of art, books and furnishings that echo the presence of the artists who have lived and worked there since the early 1950s.
