My friend and fellow poet Madeleine Slavick got in touch to let writers know about this excellent short-term poetry residency. Speaking as someone for whom long-term residencies haven’t been feasible to apply for due to family and work commitments, I think short-term residencies are an excellent idea – and this one is located in a lovely part of the country!
The residency discussed below has a 31 July deadline, but even if that doesn’t suit you, check out the www.artistresidency.org.nz website for other opportunities.
We offer a three-week poetry fellowship, and perhaps you or people you know might like to apply? Here is the link: http://www.artistresidency.org.nz/blog/623222
We offer other funded fellowships throughout the year as well as self-funded residencies (at $300/week). Browse our website sometime and see if it may be of interest.
We are located two houses north of Pukaha Mount Bruce National Wildlife Centre, which resident writers/artists have free access to during their stay.
Please share with colleagues — the Studio is open to writers, visual artists and all creative practitioners.
