About us | Council and boards
Creative New Zealand's governing body is the Arts Council. It also has three funding decision-making bodies: the Arts Board, Te Waka Toi and the Pacific Arts Committee.
Members of the Arts Council, Arts Board and Te Waka Toi are appointed by the Minister for Arts, Culture and Heritage. The Pacific Arts Committee is a committee of the Arts Board and its members are appointed by the Arts Board.
You can nominate yourself or another person for the Arts Council, Arts Board or Te Waka Toi.
Applications to Creative New Zealand project funding are assessed by arts practitioners with relevant artform and cultural experience. You can nominate yourself or another person to become an assessor.
