The Olepangi Artist-in-Residence Program is designed to create a space where people and communities come together to share and learn; and for the artist, to create an exceptional experience for those seeking the time and mental space to investigate new ideas and deepen artistic inquiry.
The programs are a minimum of 6 weeks and up to 18 weeks. We expect artists to engage in at least one community activity/project to be defined and agreed at the beginning of the residency. This might include a series of talks or engagement in art with one of the local schools we support or short apprenticeships with local people in the area. The options are endless.
