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.
PLEASE NOTE:
Applications for our 2025 February residency will close on the 31st of October. Please apply below.

We will also have availability in March and November 2025.
PIHA RESIDENCIES AT THE WAYGOOD FOUNDATION
The Waygood Foundation is a beautiful community and family-based sanctuary offering simplicity and gentle care. Nestled along the edge of sandhills and the wild open wave of this famous beach is our studio space in a permaculture garden fed by the springs of the Waitakere Ranges and surrounded by ancient bush. Artists will be staying in our separate self-contained yurt. Please note, the yurt's toilet is a beautiful mud-brick composting toilet. Instructions on how to use the toilet will be provided.
