As we look forward to Spring, the Rugby World Cup has opened with an exciting weekend of games throughout the country. Running alongside this international event is the Real New Zealand festival with a feast of New Zealand arts and culture. Check our quick links below to see what’s happening in your area.

Also in this newsletter we announce the results of our new funding programmes, call for delegates to represent Aotearoa at the Festival of Pacific Arts 2012, celebrate the achievements of leaders in Māori arts and literature, and outline how your lotto ticket supports the arts.
