Helping support creative projects

Applications are open until 22 August for groups interested in receiving funding as part of the Creative Communities scheme.

The scheme is open to groups with arts-related projects that will help increase participation at a local level, and increase the range and diversity of arts available to communities.

Auckland City Council administers the scheme on behalf of Creative New Zealand. Projects should take place between December 2008 and November 2009.

Successful applicants will be announced in early December.

Visit www.aucklandcity.govt.nz/grantsandfunding or phone 379 2020 to find out if your project is eligible and to apply.
