Tylee Cottage Residency

The Tylee Cottage Residency is an artist-in-residence programme facilitated by the Sarjeant Gallery in Whanganui, New Zealand.[1] The scheme began in 1986 as a partnership between the Sarjeant Gallery, the Wanganui District Council and the QEII Arts Council of New Zealand (now known as Creative New Zealand).[2] It was established by gallery director, Bill Milbank, QEII Arts Council adviser, John McCormack, and inaugural artist, Laurence Aberhart.[3] It is currently managed by the Sarjeant Gallery and funded by the Whanganui District Council.[2] Each year, the selected artist works full-time on their work for 2–12 months and resides in Tylee Cottage.[1] Tylee Cottage was built in 1853 and is one of Whanganui's oldest homes.[4]
