Creative New Zealand is calling for proposals from organisations interested in providing specified services to the craft/object art sector.
The 2014 Craft/Object art review undertaken by Creative New Zealand recognised a need to provide specified services for the craft/object art.
An organisation selected to deliver the services will be expected to provide:
- national promotion of high quality New Zealand craft/object art to increase New Zealanders’ understanding and appreciation of New Zealand craft/object art practice
- creative and professional development opportunities in New Zealand for New Zealand makers and curators
- opportunities for international makers and curators to undertake high quality projects in New Zealand that have clear benefits for New Zealanders and for craft/object art practice in this country
- large-scale national forums, symposiums, publications and other opportunities for artform discourse focused on contemporary New Zealand practice
- commissions and publications (in print or digital platforms or both) of critical writing about contemporary craft/object art practice in New Zealand
Creative New Zealand sees craft/object art as including the traditional applied arts and contemporary practices of all the peoples of Aotearoa/New Zealand, including Māori and Pasifika peoples and the diverse cultures of people living in Aotearoa/New Zealand today.Genres may include clay/ceramics, jewellery, glass, fibre/textiles, raranga, whakairo, Pacific Island costume and weaving, metal work, wood work and studio-based object and furniture design.
Written proposals are due with Creative New Zealand by Friday 22 May, 2015.
