LivinginPeace Art Programme
Art Class art Rongo
Art is a focus of the LivinginPeace Project and an essential component of the venture. We offer an annual artist-in-residency programme whereby artists are invited to come and stay for a few months in the summer to live and work and get involved in the LivinginPeace Project.
Artistic people are drawn to the LivinginPeace Project and we have hosted four international artists as official artists-in-residence and several other people have arrived and spent time with us while working on their artworks as “unofficial” resident artists.
