Earthskin Creative Residency
Muriwai, New Zealand
The Earthskin Creative Residency, run by Earthskin Trust in New Zealand, offers residencies to diverse creatives including artists, potters, sculptors, musicians, designers, writers, and environmental innovators at ecologically focused sites like Muriwai, Piha, and Warkworth. It emphasizes permaculture principles, environmental stewardship, and community engagement, requiring residents to contribute through talks, workshops, exhibitions, or a gifted artwork (koha). Residencies typically last 4 weeks (extendable) or 1-3 months, with facilities including studios, housing, and gardens, though residents cover utilities and other costs.
