Linking policy

Creative New Zealand provides links to the websites of major arts and cultural agencies; organisations it funds on an annual or three-year basis; arts event listings and New Zealand-based arts web directories.

This is not intended to be a comprehensive directory of New Zealand arts websites and Creative New Zealand reserves the right to choose the sites it links to.

Artists wishing to list their site on New Zealand arts web directories should request a link from the sites listed in the Portals and Directories category above.

Advice for arts organisations

We have been compiling some of the best online resources that arts organisations can use, particularly in difficult economic conditions. Visit our Advice for arts organisations page, where you’ll find links to tips, resources and discussions that can help you develop best practises across many of the key areas of your business.

If you come across a resource we don’t have listed on this page, let us know by email: website@creativenz.govt.nz
