An award-winning, non-profit international residency programme founded in 2001.
NZ Pacific Studio welcomes visual artists, musicians, writers and other creative practitioners to apply for a residency/fellowship to work intensively on a project of your design.
We welcome applicants living in New Zealand and abroad, as we value cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary dialogue.
We pair artists to residential spaces in Wairarapa / Tararua - primarily in rural homesteads. We are no longer based in the historic Normandell home in Kaiparoro Mount Bruce.
Residencies are self-catered (artists provide their own food) and self-funded (artists secure their own funding) while fellowships provide some sponsorship, depending on funding from our community.
Our objectives:
- Provide studio & residential facilities for selected national and international creative practitioners / researchers to facilitate their intensive work and to foster inter-connectivity among the residents.
- Facilitate the finding and sharing of stories and creative processes that preserve and enrich the local culture, history and environments.
- Embed the creative processes and outputs of our residencies within the nearby communities of the Wairarapa and Tararua regions.
