call for submissions:

Application deadline: 5pm, Monday 18 November

Residency Dates: 10 February – 23 March 2025 (6 weeks)

Toi Pōneke Arts Centre is pleased to announce the 2025 residency program for d/Deaf and/or disabled artists, with a call for submissions.

This opportunity is open to one d/Deaf and/or disabled artist based in Te Whanganui-a-Tara, to develop new work. You don’t need an arts degree to apply – but you should have an existing arts practice. Types of practice that are suitable would be writing, drawing, painting, sculpture, print, textiles, mixed media, photography, film and video.

Please note: This residency is not suitable for performing arts, theatre rehearsals, live music or very large works. 

Toi Pōneke development residencies are usually 4 weeks; however, we have extended this residency to 6 weeks to provide you with more time to work in a flexible way.

The artist fee is $3750 before tax.

You will have access to a paid interpreter/mentor/companion/ other support person of your choice.

At the end of the residency, there will be an opportunity to present a work in progress studio showing of your work to invited guests. Toi Pōneke staff will be available to assist with install or set up if required.
