Key themes and round observations
A wide range of practitioners across various career stages and artforms were supported, with the highest artforms represented being Multidisciplinary arts, Theatre, Literature, and Visual arts.
Here we provide key themes and observations of the results for the Creative Impact fund. This fund focused on support for artists, practitioners, and collaboratives to make, share and present work that encourages knowledge sharing, enriches audiences and deepens understanding and participation in the arts.
Strong applications under the Creative Impact fund tended to:
- meet the purpose of the fund by clearly identifying benefits to their specific community, and including tangible plans for engagement and long-term skill-sharing
- include relevant and well-curated support material that provides a comprehensive picture of the kaupapa, complemented by evidence like statistics or reports to substantiate and reinforce the application
- include detailed budgets with diversified income sources that show planning beyond CNZ funding, with a focus on sustainability beyond the initial activity.
The list of funded applications will be published here on Monday 9 December.
