Creative Communities Scheme
CCS helps to fund local arts projects. Each year Creative New Zealand provides funding to city and district councils to distribute in their area. The scheme supports more than 1,800 projects every year.
The scheme aims to create opportunities for local communities to engage with, and participate in local arts activities, for example:
- Performances by community choirs, hip-hop groups, theatre companies, musicians or poets
- Workshops on printmaking, writing or dancing
- Creation of new tukutuku, whakairo or kowhaiwhai for a local marae
- Exhibitions by local craft groups promoting weaving, pottery and carving
- Festivals featuring local artists
- Creation of a community film or a public artwork by a community/li>
- Artist residencies involving local artists or communities
- Seminars for local artist development
