The Sarjeant Gallery Te Whare o Rehua has announced the names of artists who have been selected for residencies at Tylee Cottage for the next two years.
There were three separate and distinct residencies on offer and, for the first time, it was
decided to split a photographic/new media residency between two outstanding applicants who will each stay at Tylee Cottage for three months.
Selected Tylee residents for September 2018 to June 2019 are Christchurch painter Julia Holden and Wellington weaver Annie Mackenzie.
Auckland photographer Marie Shannon will take up residence from August to October 2019 and Wallace Awards paramount prize-winning photographer Jae Hoon Lee will be resident from November 2019 until January 2020.
"The standard of applicants for each of the residencies was extremely high which made the selection process extremely difficult," said the Sarjeant Gallery's curator Greg Donson.
"We are heartened that after 30 years of running the programme it continues to attract a diverse range of applicants and allows us to provide artists with a unique opportunity to develop a new body of work."
