Arts Development

The new Arts Development team is divided into a ‘programmes' team and a ‘strategy' team.

The programmes team has members in the three offices in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. They work directly with artists and arts organisations that Creative New Zealand funds and manage and deliver Creative New Zealand's funding programmes, initiatives and special opportunities for artists.
So, for example monitoring and advising on funding applications across artforms, and managing the residencies and fellowships we administer, is handled by the people in the programmes team.

The strategy team is based in our Wellington office. They work to identify strategic issues and opportunities across the arts sector. This team has the capacity to address sector, pan-arts, and artform strategies and issues.
