General information:
An initiative of The Department of Conservation (DOC) and Creative NZ, this residency aims to foster links between the conservation and creative communities. The Department of Conservation and Creative New Zealand launched the Wild Creations Artists in Residence programme in 2002. The programme provides New Zealand artists with an outstanding opportunity to experience the people, stories and challenges associated with our country's unique natural and historic heritage. Applications are sought from practising New Zealand artists working in all art forms and cultural traditions. The programme is only available to New Zealand citizens or permanent residents.Three residencies are awarded each year to artists selected by a panel of representatives from the Department of Conservation and Creative New Zealand. There are 22 sites around NZ that can be chosen from and artists should choose one of these sites to base their proposal on. There is a stipend of $5,000 available to the artist whose proposal is chosen along with up to $1000 for travel and materials. The available locations are described in the guidelines and information pack available from DOC or Creative NZ.
