Opportunity: Fale-ship Residency and Exhibition 2024 at Tautai Pacific Arts Trust

Applications for the Tautai Pacific Arts Trust 2024 Fale-ship recidency are open.

The Fale-ship residency places value on the everyday experiences of Moana artists operating in their own centres and this year, we are thrilled to announce an exhibition component!


THE RESIDENCY
 | Mon 14 – Sun 27 Oct

We are now inviting proposals from Moana Arts practitioners across all creative disciplines – visual arts, music, dance, design, film, fashion, writing and emerging art forms – to develop works as part of our 2024 Fale-ships Residency and Exhibition. This year’s theme is ‘A Seat at the Table’. Our Fale-ship Residency will be split into two parts; the first of which is a 2-week remote residency where Tautai supports 5 successful recipients with a residency stipend of $2000 NZD (subject to withholding tax) to develop work that responds to our theme. These 5 successful applicants will have their making process showcased across Tautai’s platforms between Oct – Dec 2024. This opportunity then culminates into an on-site exhibition of their final art works in our gallery space taking place in December. Over the course of the residency and build up to the exhibition, successful applicants will receive curatorial support from the Tautai team.


THE EXHIBITION
 | Thurs 5 – Fri 20 Dec

Tautai will work together with successful applicants on an exhibition budget that will go towards the below costs:

  • Artist exhibition fees
  • Travel and accommodation if applicable
  • Installation
  • Exhibition opening
  • Public programming
  • Marketing
