Hello TIGS Year 11 Creative Arts students
This website has been setup to help you learn about well-known Australian artist, Arthur Boyd and his properties 'Bundanon' and 'Riversdale' on the banks of the beautiful Shoalhaven River in NSW. As we will be staying at Riversdale and visting Bundanon during our Creative Arts Camp, the pages on this site are intended to help you discover about:
- Arthur Boyd's work and practice,
- The Bundanon Trust, set-up by the Australian Government in 1993 after Arthur and Yvonne Boyd gifted the Bundanon properties to the Australian people and public.
- The Bundanon Collection, several thousand artworks and objects collected and established by the Boyd family and now housed in a purpose-built facility
- The Artist-In-Residence program that provides artists from all over the world with a unique opportunity to study and work at Bundanon.
The Riversdale Education Centre (Glen Murcutt's building)

Past TIGS students have repeatedly described their stay at Riversdale as one of their most memorable school experiences. You will have the privilege of immersing yourself in many creative experiences whilst developing an awareness of the significance of this site in relation to Arthur Boyd's lifelong work and practice.
