Creative Communities Scheme funding is now open
Creative Communities Scheme funding is now open for local art groups and creative projects across the Coromandel.
The scheme, backed by Creative New Zealand, aims to increase participation in the arts, broaden the range and diversity of the arts available to communities and enhance and strengthen the local arts sector.
Funding is awarded to projects rather than people undertaking the project and applications must meet one or more of the scheme’s criteria.
Your project must meet one or more of the following funding criteria:
• Broad community
involvement -The project will create opportunities for local
communities to engage with and participate in arts
activities.
•
• Diversity - The project will
support the diverse arts and cultural traditions of local
communities, enriching and promoting their uniqueness and
cultural diversity.
•
• Young people - The
project will enable and encourage young people (under 18
years) to engage with and actively participate in the
arts.
•
The types of projects or activities that
could be funded include:
• Exhibitions, productions,
concerts, festivals, workshops and presentations that offer
opportunities for community involvement in the
arts.
•
• Activities that support the traditions
and arts of ethnic communities.
•
• Youth arts
events.
•
• Artist-led projects involving local
communities.
•
• Materials for arts activities or
programmes.

• Personnel costs for one-off,
short-term projects.

that are outside of the school’s normal activities and

We administer the funding based on
decisions made by a District Assessment Committee made up of
representatives from across the Thames-Coromandel
District.
