Our investment programmes

The Toi Uru Kahikatea (Arts Development) Investment programme and the Toi Tōtara Haemata (Arts Leadership) Investment programme provide ongoing funding over several years to artists, arts practitioners and arts organisations to support continuous programmes of activity and ongoing infrastructure.

These complementary programmes provide the arts sector with stability, while at the same time giving us the flexibility to respond to changing needs and opportunities.
