Goolugatup's Noongar Artist Residency is a funded three-month long residency program providing a fully subsidised studio space, artist fee, and inclusion in the annual exhibition program if desired. No fixed outcomes are required and it welcomes artists at all stages of their careers. This program is curated by Zali Morgan.

Emily Rose is a mother, visionary and 4th generation Noongar/Yamatji artist. She's committed to fostering generational change, promoting unity, and creating beautiful things for the benefit of those that lie forever in her heart of hearts—her children. An award-winning, multi-disciplinary artist, Emily's work spans oil painting, weaving, and ephemeral art—for now—exploring themes of memory, natural order, and the interwoven narratives of Country. 

Her art exists at the intersection of tradition and innovation, paying homage to cultural knowledge while expanding the horizons of contemporary Indigenous art. Continuing a legacy where hands have woven, painted, and carved stories, Emily's work celebrates her ancestors' resilience but more importantly, through her own lived experiences she strives to build a transformed future for her daughter and beyond.
