Cobb Residency | 10th - 14th October 2024 | Artist Contribution $150

The GB Community Arts Council invites 12 artists to join a residency at the Cobb Dam, in the Kahurangi National Park.

This is an opportunity for artists to participate in the experience and interpretation of a special location and, as part of a group, to produce a presentation of work inspired by their visit.
This awesome location is isolated from daily life, surrounded by mountains and bush, and at the same time is much altered by man in a significant and ongoing way. It is a place significant to Maori for its histories, stories and resources including stone, plants, and creatures.

The residency will take place from Thursday 10th - Monday 14th October, and is open to all Golden Bay and Tasman Region artists.
Participants will make their own way to and from the Cobb houses - car pooling is advised. Self-catering accommodation will be in the two Community Workers houses near the dam. The participants are responsible for all their food requirements and personal needs.

As part of the residency each artist is required to create a body of work for an exhibition, to be held early 2025 (date to be negotiated by attendees and GBCAC). Artists will therefore need to be available during this period.

Artists will be responsible for working with the other Cobb Residents to produce the exhibition, together with support from the Arts Council. It is expected that artists will have their works for sale (20% commission on work sold).
The Arts Council will provide the group with help with the exhibition process.

The cost for participation in the Cobb Residency is $150 which covers the cost of accommodation, venue hire (exhibition), advertising and a minimal administration fee (sponsorship available for limited income attendees - please contact GBCAC for information).
