Next Wave are looking for a house! One of the Next Wave 2020 artists is staging a work inside a house, and we are on the hunt.

Know any property owners? Friendly people who would give their house over? A household that’s going on holiday for ten days in May?

We’re looking for a house that is:

Near public transport
Has wheelchair access (if you think your house can be made accessible by use of ramps, let us know)
Preferably ground floor

If you’re the angel that can give one of our artists a loan of an abode, or knows someone who can help, please get in touch with us via email (nextwave@nextwave.org.au) or phone 03) 9329 9422. Next Wave can offer a small amount of financial compensation.

The Next Wave office is located on the land of the Wurundjeri and Boonwurrung people of the Kulin nation. We pay our respects to Elders past and present, as well as to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the wider Melbourne community and beyond. Indigenous sovereignty has never been ceded and we acknowledge that we continue to make art on what always was and always will be, Aboriginal land.
