Oceania Pacific Arts Residency

The Oceania Pacific Arts Residency programme will select one artist from each country (Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia and Fiji) to take part in a shared six-week residency at the Oceania Centre, in Suva running from 1 October – 12 November 2026. The residency supports established Pacific creatives to develop their arts practice and to grow relationships and networks across Te Moana Nui a Kiwa. All three selected artists will develop new work themed around Climate Change, a priority under Creative New Zealand's Pacific Arts Strategy and a pressing security issue for the peoples of the Pacific Islands.
