Niue Extends Artist Residency to 2028, Boosting Opportunities for Pasifika Creatives

Niue’s artist residency programme has been locked in until 2028.

The move is set to grow local talent and strengthen Pacific creative connections.

A new three-year partnership between the Government of Niue and Creative New Zealand (CNZ) will expand the Niue Artist Residency in Alofi, building on earlier success and opening the door for more Pacific artists.

It also marks the first Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two, signalling a long-term commitment to supporting Niuean arts both on the island and across the diaspora.

“Creative New Zealand has had many decades of supporting the arts of the Niue people,” Ali Foa’i, CNZ’s Principal Adviser Pacific Arts, tells PMN Niue.
