About
Encourage, promote and support the arts in New Zealand
Each year Creative New Zealand provides funding to support all ethnicity and cultures within our Community. The purpose of the Creative Communities Scheme Fund is to encourage, promote and support the arts in New Zealand. If you are part of a group or an individual planning a performance, exhibition, festival, creative workshop or art project in the Kaikōura Community then this may be for you!
Creative New Zealand is a Crown entity governed by the Arts Council. The council encourages, promotes and supports New Zealand arts to benefit all New Zealanders.

Important Application Guidance
All applicants must provide evidence demonstrating that they have researched a local need for the project with its intended audience, users and/or providers in our hapori. You do not need to do an excessive amount of research, but as a minimum we expect applicants to have spoken with our hapori to gain guidance and feedback on how your activity/project/event will benefit, be enjoyed or responded to in our community. Tell us who you spoke to and what feedback you received to support your application. For more information on funding criteria please see the download link below.
We welcome all applicants who can enrich our hapori with educational, entertainment, cultural or creative opportunities that our community would not otherwise have access to.
