Ecological Artist Residencies
​
Earthskin supports a network of local and international artists, through developing local havens that provide creatives with a place to create, as well as exhibit their work. Residencies and workshops give artists a grounding space to diversify their mediums and immerse themselves fully. The artists are being nourished, internally and externally, by being fed by, and living in a closer and genuine relationship with the whenua (land), and in balance with themselves. Furthermore, immersion in permaculture ethics awakens greater environmental consciousness thereby creating awareness around ethical and eco-minded art practice.
​​EARTHSKIN WARKWORTH RESIDENCIES
A new opportunity from Earthskin Trust for Ecological Artist Residencies of 12 days is OPEN NOW!
Applications close on Sunday the 6th of July.
Earthskin Warkworth is proud to finally open its doors and heart to Earthskin Ecological Artist Residency Applications until October.
The cost is $400.
We have been trialling short periods, which have been working so well that we have decided to offer the space for twelve-day residencies.
The new Earthskin Barn Studio is magnificent and very cosy for winter. The house is nestled in a Permaculture community space, with monthly hands-on training and young folk on site. We live in a 2-hectare food Forest, surrounded by farmland, so this is an oasis for nature, inside and out. We are about an hour away from beautiful beaches and hot pools, and on the Te Araroa Track. The welcoming community of Warkworth is ten minutes away. It has a great library and many cafes. Auckland is an hour away.
You have your own room and use of Wi-Fi. However, it is limited because we live in an iconic earth-built house away from signals. This can be frustrating, but somehow perfect!
There are opportunities for you to join in with our Regenerative life and share our Heritage fruit and vegetables. No smoking, drugs, or alcohol is allowed. The use of unnatural chemical art materials that can go into our precious land is not allowed. You will need to bring your own food and art supplies.
Application forms are available on the Earthskin Website and should be forwarded to office@earthskin@gmail.com.nz
We look forward to hearing from you and sharing the magic that is Earthskin.
If your application is accepted by our Earthskin judges for a space from July eighth onward, we would appreciate a Koha piece of your work to add to our Earthskin collection to help us raise funds.
Please signal your preferred dates, and we will try and accommodate.
