2026 Artist in Residence Announced

We’re thrilled to announce Meagan Streader as the 2026 Mill Cabin Artist in Residence.

Based in Melbourne, Meagan’s interdisciplinary practice sits at the intersection of art, architecture, and design, with a focus on the transformative power of light within built environments. Working across sculpture and installation, her site-responsive works reshape space—challenging how we perceive scale, material, and form.

Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including Melbourne Now at NGV Australia, Carriageworks, Dark Mofo, and the Amsterdam Light Festival, alongside major public commissions.

Most recently, Meagan was awarded an ISS Institute and George Alexander Foundation Fellowship (2025), and a three-month residency at the Cité Internationale des Arts, Paris, after receiving the Eva Breuer Travelling Art Scholarship through the Art Gallery of New South Wales (2026).

During her time at Mill Cabin, Meagan will explore the legacies of historically under-recognised women in contemporary art and modernist design. Drawing inspiration from figures such as Sophie Taeuber-Arp, Eileen Gray, Magdalena Abakanowicz, Anni Albers, and Louise Bourgeois, she will develop a new body of work investigating themes of female empowerment, transformation, time, and resilience.

Meagan is represented locally by MARS gallery in Melbourne

The most tranquil and peaceful place I think I’ve ever stayed. Surrounded by snow gums and overlooking snow-capped mountains, Mill Cabin is a truly special place. Perfectly at home in nature, but incredibly comfortable and well-appointed. We honestly never wanted to leave - such a blissful few days here.

AMAZING!!! By the far the most amazing place we have stayed.Trent and Niki have created such an incredible Airbnb - highly recommend.The location is completely secluded but close enough to head to the snow or into town if you’d like. The cabin has everything you need from cooking utensils/staples, fire wood, board games, beautiful styling, and the most amazing scenery/view.Definitely an experience we won’t ever forget - I can’t wait to stay here again :)

Mill Cabin was just pure serenity. We were greeted by wallabies, hopping around in the early snow, then entered the cabin to find the most delightful sanctuary. Every detail was considered, from the textures of the towels to the beautiful ceramics in the kitchen. We absolutely loved the design of the cabin, nestled into the gum trees, taking in the magnificent views from every window. We feel revived & indulged, the perfect place to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. Thank you Niki & Trent for a gorgeous experience.

"Can’t recommend Mill Cabin highly enough; the space is beautiful, peaceful and sparkling clean, with high quality products and thoughtful touches. The surrounds are pristine, wonderfully quiet and absolutely private. There is wildlife (kangaroos, deer and even a wombat!) that approach quite close to the cabin and really add to the experience. Communication with Niki was effortless and she was able to provide me lots of helpful info on the area. I feel nourished and very well rested after my 5 night stay- a much needed detox from city life. Will definitely return."
