The Nancy Fairfax Artist in Residence Studio
The Nancy Fairfax Artist in Residence (AIR) Studio is an on-site, live-in studio at the Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre.
The AIR Studio is generously supported by benefactor Mr Tim Fairfax AC and named in honour of his mother, Nancy Fairfax, who was a great friend of Margaret Olley.

Overlooking the picturesque surrounds of the Gallery, with views to Mount Warning/ Wollumbin, the AIR Studio is a dynamic legacy of Margaret Olley’s support for artists through personal and professional mentorship.
The objective of the AIR Studio is to enable and encourage a variety of artists to stimulate their practice in a creative environment. The AIR Studio program includes two funded residencies annually. The artwork resulting from these residencies is then included in the Tweed Regional Gallery’s exhibition program. Artists also have the opportunity to use the AIR Studio on a fee-paying basis.
In 2019, the Gallery hosted three funded residency programs for Nicholas Harding; Pam Tippett and Adam Pyett; and twelve self-funded artists-in-residence.
