Events Calendar

The newly established Visiting Artist Programme of Te Whare Toi o Heretaunga Hastings Art Gallery (HAG) offers an annual 8-week residency for Aotearoa artists towards the development of a solo exhibition project. The programme is designed to foster new connections within the Te Matau-a-Māui Hawke’s Bay region and support the development of unique bodies of work.

The inaugural visiting artist for 2024 was Heidi Brickell. Recognising the need for more open opportunities for established Aotearoa artists, HAG is calling for proposals for a residency beginning August 2025, with a subsequent exhibition in February 2026.

The Gallery is seeking projects that will present an opportunity for an artist to make new work which cannot be developed elsewhere. Accommodation and a workspace in Heretaunga Hastings is included, as well as a stipend, research and materials budget and other forms of support.

Artists must be citizens or legal permanent residents of Aotearoa New Zealand, based outside of Te Matau-a-Māui Hawke’s Bay and demonstrate at least eight years of public exhibition practice. They must be able to reside and work full-time in Heretaunga Hastings during the term of the residency.

Applications are due on February 2, 2025.
