PLETT ART RESIDENCY has been running since 2021 when Daron Chatz and his team picked up the reigns for Land Art in Plettenberg Bay, after Site_Specific held a Land Art Biennale in 2011 and 2013.

Plett Arts Residency is currently running our annual Land Art event alongside the Plett Arts Festival. This years event will be the fifth one. Land Art is a powerful instrument that connects people to nature and to each other and it has been an incredible journey.

Our long term vision include finding ways to positively impact pressing social-economic issues with our land art projects, and to include indigenous knowledge, practice, perspective, and wisdom in our land art projects. We seek to collaborate, cross-pollinate, and co-learn. We invite philosophers, poets, artists, conservationists, botanists, photographers, film makers, and elders alike to get in touch as partners and collaborators for our future projects and events.

In future we also plan to offer a mentorship program, supporting our youth, inspiring them and helping to develop their skills, understanding and creative practice in land art and multidisciplinary art practices.
