The New Zealand International Arts Festival (NZIAF) is committed to fostering the development of new work from New Zealand and Pacific artists and companies and invites arts practitioners from all artistic disciplines to submit applications for inclusion in the NZIAF’s Show and Tell to be held in November, 2010.
NZIAF seeks to continually engage with the creative sector and encourages new innovative work. Show and Tell is just one method employed by NZIAF as a vehicle to support the development of new ideas and concepts with potential for presentation by NZIAF and/or other national and international presenters.
Financial assistance is given to selected applicants to progress their initial concept to a form whereby they are able to meaningfully present and convey a solid sense of their project’s potential to the NZIAF and other industry partners. The Show and Tell process culminates in those presentations being delivered to invited festival directors, industry partners and presenters during the first week of Wellington.
Inclusion in the Show and Tell process is not essential for ultimate presentation at the 2012 New Zealand International Arts Festival. NZIAF is open to discussion concerning new work outside the Show and Tell timeline. However Show and Tell is widely recognised as a valuable platform for supporting creative dialogue, development of projects and communicating ideas and potential works to the wider industry.
Please contact Diana Cable at the New Zealand International Arts Festival by email or phone (04) 496 5492 for details on how best present your proposal, theapplicant criteria and for further detailsabout the Show and Tell process.
Selection remains at the discretion of NZIAF.
