Wellington Asia Residency Exchange (WARE)

The Wellington Asia Residency Exchange (WARE) is organised by Wellington City Council and the Asia New Zealand Foundation.

Each year, four artists from Asia will participate in an arts exchange programme in Wellington, and one Wellington artist will take part in a similar programme in Asia.

  • Programme
    Visiting Asian artists will stay at the historic Bolton Street Cottage. They will partner with an arts organisation or institution to facilitate their project. This may include workshops, exhibition or performance. Wellington artists will be similarly looked after by their Asian arts partners.
  • Participation
    The programme is open to arts practitioners working in any genre.
  • Candidates
    Contact the City Arts team if you are a local artist interested in participating, or if you know of any Asian artists who could be interested.
