Our draft long-term strategy, Tū Mai Rā, Toi Aotearoa sets out Creative New Zealand’s vision, direction and goals for the next fifteen years as the national arts development agency of Aotearoa New Zealand.
We’re seeking feedback on the draft strategy from 17 March to 6 April 2025 and want to hear from anyone with an interest in the arts, creativity and ngā toi Māori.
David Pannett, Senior Manager, Strategy & Engagement is leading the strategy development process.
“We’re setting ourselves a long horizon, to 2040, because we know our ambitions for the sector and ourselves will take time to realise,” David says.
“This strategy will be in place as we launch our simplified support for arts organisations and groups and increasingly empower communities as decision makers. Those changes, and our commitment to keeping artists and ringatoi at the heart of our work, are the foundation for our long-term strategy,” he says.
