Veteran Artist in Residence

Experience the artistic process of Domenic Bartolo, the Anzac Memorial’s Veteran Artist in Residence.

16 February 2024 9:30am - 01 March 2024 3:30pm

Experience the artistic process of Domenic Bartolo, the Anzac Memorial’s Veteran Artist in Residence, each Friday from 9.30am to 3.30pm until 1 March 2024.

The Veteran Artist in Residence program is an opportunity to support veteran artists by providing the time and space for artists to creatively explore the Anzac Memorial and to reflect on their service and sacrifice. The program helps to ensure that contemporary military experiences are interpreted for today’s audiences. Domenic is the second Veteran Artist in Residence.

My aim is to create a collection of work that helps raise awareness of the importance and significance of the Anzac Memorial. As well as highlighting Australia's gallant military history and honouring generations of men and women who have served.

Domenic Bartolo, 2024 Veteran Artist in Residence

Domenic served in the Army Reserve (Infantry) from 1994-97. Currently Domenic is a graphic designer and has worked in the advertising industry for the past 20 years. He also has a Diploma in Fine Arts. In recent years, in his spare time, Domenic has managed to merge his passion for history and the military with art – creating a number of works for the Royal Australian Navy, the Royal Australian Airforce, The Naval Association of Australia and the AMDA Foundation.

I have always had an interest in the military and I have managed to combine this with a passion for drawing and illustration. Working in advertising has taught me the importance of having an idea within the work that will hopefully resonate with the audience.

Domenic is located in the Memorial’s Hall of Service on the Lower Ground level each Friday until 1 March.

Entry is free.
