The Auckland Regional Council's inaugural artist-in-residency project offers artists a place to stay and create on one of our Regional Parks. The residency provides a park-like setting for creative work; with features of natural and cultural significance nearby. It is intended for established artists with a proven track record who are self-sufficient. Accommodation is provided free and a weekly grant given to help create a work or body of work.
Visual and performing artists are welcome to apply. Because it is a short term residency opportunity (max 4 weeks) it might suit in particular writers, poets, composers, choreographers, and visual artists ‘of all kinds’ e.g. photographers, printmakers, ephemeral and installation artists etc.
Applicants have a choice of 10 different sites in stunning settings but there are restrictions on timeframes. Most lodgings are bach-style in scenic settings - many by the sea.
Applications close Monday Feb 4th 2008.
For more information including application details and photos of most of the sites visit the ARC website for more information.
