Thursday 11 November 2004
In 2004, in response to the recommendations made in “An Object Future”, Creative New Zealand’s strategy for prioritising its investment in the professional contemporary craft/object sector (2003 – 2005), Creative New Zealand offered a craft/object art fellowship. This Fellowship will be offered annually for three years. As such, Creative New Zealand is now calling for applications from mid-career and senior practitioners (makers, curators and/or writers) for the second fellowship, in 2005.
Please note: In recognition of the fact that contemporary craft practice is also described by the term object art, a dual title for this artform sector is used by Creative New Zealand. The genres it refers to includes, but is not confined to: pottery/ceramics, jewellery, cast or blown glass, weaving/textiles, furniture design.
Value of the Fellowship
A total of NZ$65,000 is available. This amount is to be utilised by the successful applicant to complete a project over a 12-month period. Payment will be made in two equal instalments of $32,500. The first instalment will be paid at the commencement of the fellowship with the next instalment paid upon receipt of a progress report by the recipient.
