Wellington Asia Residency Exchange (WARE)

Wellington City Council and Asia New Zealand Foundation invite Wellington-based arts organisations to submit a proposal for an artist from Asia to take part in the WARE programme.

The Council, in partnership with Asia NZ Foundation, are supporting one residency at the Bolton Street cottage for up to 3 months each year for the next 5 years.

The aim of the exchange is to develop a long-term project-based residency programme, relevant to Wellington's contemporary arts sector.

We are accepting proposals from arts organisations for the next 1 - 5 years. Applications are accepted all year round.
