Pacific Arts Strategy 2023–2028

The Pacific Arts Strategy is Creative New Zealand’s medium-term strategy for Pacific arts. It sets out our desired outcomes for Pacific arts, our four focus areas of Tagata, Vaka, Va and Moana, and a vision for: Powerful and resilient Pacific arts, led by enterprising and innovative Pasifika people, for Aotearoa, Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa and the world.

The Pacific Arts Strategy was updated in December 2025, bringing it in line with our new strategic context (including our new long-term strategy to 2040, Tū Mai Rā, Toi Aotearoa).
