Pilgrim Artists

An initiative for Christian creatives

Pilgrim Artists is an initiative of the Pilgrim Hill Association Inc. We're located in the beautiful Huon Valley of far south Tasmania, Australia.

We exist to encourage Christian creatives, like you, to grow as artists and disciples of Christ. To this end, we run regular sponsored artists residencies and an annual arts festival.
