The Arts Centre Te Matatiki Toi Ora in Ōtautahi Christchurch, Aotearoa New Zealand is offering a residency programme to support creative professionals practicing in any creative media to work on a project. It is open to people from New Zealand and around the world for a residency period of between 1 and 3 months.
Engagement with the local community is an integral part of this residency programme and it is anticipated that the residency will culminate in an exhibition, performance, reading, workshops or some other such event that involves the community.
