Bundanon, near Nowra on the NSW South Coast, is a unique national arts organisation and the former home of the late painter Arthur Boyd. Boyd (July 1920 - April 1999), was a leading Australian painter in the mid-20th century whose work featured landscapes inspired by the Impressionist style.
Bundanon was founded to create learning programs for art students of all ages and it currently operates Australia's largest artist-in-residence program.
First established in 1993, Bundanon represents one of the most significant acts of philanthropy in the history of the arts in Australia. Arthur and Yvonne Boyd’s gift of Bundanon in 1993 was driven by a big vision, which has been built upon by subsequent acts of private generosity and government support.
Bundanon’s mission is to operate the property as a centre for creative arts and education, scientific search, and a place to explore landscape and engage with First Nations history and culture. There is a residency program for artists, writers, musicians, dancers, performers and Scholars.
