Te Whare o Rehua Sarjeant Gallery is calling for applications for two four-month residencies in 2026.
The residency (est 1986) is one of the longest of its kind in the country and is a chance to be part of an impressive alumni of over 70 artists who have called Tylee home and produced post residency exhibitions for the Sarjeant’s dynamic programme. With the support of generous funding through Creative New Zealand’s Toi Uru Kahikatea Investment Programme, the residency allows artists the opportunity to focus on their practice and make work in a new environment.
For 2026 we are offering the opportunity two four month residencies:
RESIDENCY ONE: April-July, 2026 for a painter over the age of 35.
RESIDENCY TWO: August-November, 2026 for a photo / new media artist.

Applications close on Friday 23 January, 2026.
