Jeffry Feeger has been announced as the successful recipient of the inaugural Tautai Contemporary Pacific Arts Trust and Pacific Cooperation Foundation Artist Residency 2009. The residency provides the artist with return airfares, accommodation and a stipend for the six week duration. The 26 year old Feeger will use his time in New Zealand to meet and interact with the local art community, to establish networks and promote his own art. He will also visit galleries and libraries and use public institutions for research. He has been invited to participate in several Pacific-related events held in Auckland. This residency is organised by the Tautai Contemporary Pacific Arts Trust and sponsored by the Pacific Cooperation Foundation. It is open to Pacific artists from outside New Zealand.
