Creative New Zealand Newsletter
Our Spring newsletter is coming to you as we learn more about the impact of Saturday morning’s earthquake on Christchurch. Our sympathies are with everyone affected and Creative New Zealand is contacting arts organisations, colleagues, and friends of the arts to assess the likely repercussions for the arts sector.
Our Christchurch office was damaged and is temporarily closed. We are aiming to have it in operation by next week.
In the meantime our newsletter comes to you with news of special celebrations for the Te Waka Toi Awards and new capability building programmes for those in the arts sector.
