The Elam International Artist in Residence Programme
The Elam International Artist in Residence Programme brings together remarkable and talented artists from all over the world.
Established in 1998, and currently paused, the Elam International Artist in Residence Programme enhances the opportunities for learning about contemporary practice and methods of working for our students and the wider creative community.
The programme also enables Elam School of Fine Arts to work closely with major art galleries, museums and cultural funding agencies, enhancing the development of New Zealand's visual arts sector.
Initiatives include public exhibitions, lectures and exposure of the artists' work throughout the country.
We’d like to acknowledge the generous support of our benefactor, Dame Jenny Gibbs.
