International artist residencies
Creative New Zealand offers a number of international artist residencies to provide opportunities for New Zealand artists to develop their practice, build international networks and enhance their careers.
These international residencies are offered through the Arts Board, Te Waka Toi and the Pacific Arts Committee. The residencies include travel, accommodation, a stipend and some material costs. We also support artists to undertake other international residencies through our project funding rounds.
Some of our residencies and fellowships have been put on hold for 2007/2008 for a number of reasons but mainly so we can take time out to look at these opportunities in the context of our wider Review of Project Funding and Special Opportunities for Artists. Further information is available here.
For more information, availability and closing dates contact Helaina Keeley, Tarisi Vunidilo (Pacific arts), Haniko Te Kurapa (Maori arts) and Eynon Delamere (Maori arts).
