Auckland venue and studio complex Big Fan has launched a Summer Residencies programme.

The initiative will run from March 27-31, offering creatives the chance to use one of three professional-grade recording studios for five days, for free, no strings attached! The residencies are intended for Aotearoa-based artists, songwriters, and producers from the age of 18, with no upper age limit. One successful applicant outside of Tāmaki Makaurau will have a portion of their travel and accommodation costs covered.

Applications are open now and will close on March 13, more info and the application form can be found here.
