Move on Up
Creative New Zealand in partnership with Morris Hargreaves McIntyre has developed a two-year Strategic Change Programme that enables arts organisations to become increasingly vision-led and audience focused. The programme, Move on Up, shows organisations how to understand, reach out, communicate and engage with more people, more effectively.
Move on Up takes up to four organisations through this development process each year, with organisations selected on the basis of their aspirations towards:
- becoming financially solvent
- developing strong leadership
- showing strong artistic vision
- being open to change
- having access to their own audience data
Seven organisations have completed Move on Up since 2008: Centrepoint Theatre, Fortune Theatre, Chamber Music New Zealand, Taki Rua Productions, Circa Theatre, The Physics Room and Govett-Brewster Art Gallery. The 2010 participants are: Artspace, Auckland Writers and Readers Festival, Toi Maori and Footnote Dance Company.
