MCCAHON HOUSE RESIDENCIES
SUPPORTING OUR ARTISTS WITH CAREER DEFINING OPPORTUNITIES
McCahon House Artist Residencies are designed to support artists at pivotal points in their careers by providing the time, space and support to focus on the development of their practice.
Our approach to residencies has expanded to encompass residencies for mid-career artists based in New Zealand Aotearoa, along with residencies that have been developed to have a specific focus, in partnership with organisations both here and abroad. See our International Residencies page for more information.
Residencies offered here in Aotearoa are situated at Parehuia – a purpose-built dwelling and studio in French Bay, Titirangi. The site was gifted the name Parehuia by local kaumatua Eru Thompson in 2008. See our Parehuia Residency pages for more information.
