Creative New Zealand regularly consults with the arts sector to ensure our funding priorities, programmes and initiatives keep pace with new arts practices and with New Zealand’s changing arts environment.
Opera
We are reviewing how we support opera in New Zealand and will be consulting on our funding priorities and policies for opera for the next five years (2016-2020).
We will be publishing an Opera Discussion Paper on 23 February 2015 and will be inviting feedback on the questions raised in it. The paper will be distributed to key stakeholders and published on our website. Submissions on the paper will be able to be made via an online questionnaire, with a closing date of 17 March 2015.
Multidisciplinary Arts
During the past four years Creative New Zealand has been reviewing its support for each artform it funds, media arts (2011), Māori arts (2012), Pacific arts (2013), music (2013), dance (2013), visual arts (2014), craft/object art (2014), literature (2015), opera (2015), theatre (2015).
To incorporate reviews of those arts activities and organisations which involve multiple artforms, rather than one primary artform, Creative New Zealand is reviewing how it defines and supports multidisciplinary arts.
The multidisciplinary organisations we support through our investment programmes Toi Tōtara Haemata and Toi Uru Kahikatea are as follows:
- Arts Access Aotearoa – Whakahauhau Katoa o Hanga
- Arts On Tour New Zealand
- Auckland Arts Festival
- Capital E
- Christchurch Arts Festival
- New Zealand International Arts Festival
- Otago Festival of the Arts
- Southern Lakes Arts Festival
- Taranaki Arts Festival
- The Big Idea
- WOMAD
Creative New Zealand is seeking feedback on multidisciplinary arts via an online questionnaire. This includes identifying a key role/s in New Zealand’s arts infrastructure for multidisciplinary arts, which would be funded via our Toi Tōtara Haemata (Arts Leadership) investment programme.
The deadline for completing the online questionnaire is 5pm on 2 March 2015.
