Forbes recently highlighted a compelling evolution in luxury travel at Southern Ocean Lodge on Kangaroo Island, drawing attention to the lodge’s new artist‑in‑residence program as a way to place local creatives at the heart of the guest experience. The feature frames Southern Ocean Lodge not just as a destination of breathtaking coastline and wilderness, but as a living platform for the region’s artistic spirit.
The lodge now invites painters, photographers, sculptors and jewellers to share their work with guests, creating a program where art, culture and place converge. Forbes describes the initiative in detail:
“Southern Ocean Lodge is placing local creatives centre stage, inviting painters, photographers, sculptors and jewellers to share their work with guests as part of a new artist‑in‑residence program. The initiative is designed to celebrate the richness of Kangaroo Island’s creative community, giving travellers the opportunity to engage directly with the artists, witness their processes, and even take home one-of-a-kind pieces that embody the spirit of place. By combining immersive cultural experiences with its renowned luxury, the lodge continues to redefine how art, environment and hospitality can intersect.”
