Funding is available for local community based arts activities in your area from the Creative Communities Scheme (CCS).
The aim of the scheme is to increase participation in the arts at a local level, and increase the range and diversity of arts available to communities. The scheme is a partnership between Creative New Zealand and the 73 local authorities. Each local authority takes responsibility for delivering the scheme in its area.
Local decision-making is the key to the scheme and applications are considered by local assessment committees. All New Zealanders are eligible to apply.
Contact the CCS administrator in your local area to find out more (Word doc 180Kb).
