Local art projects get financial boost
 |
Seventy-two local community based arts
and cultural projects have received grants
in Creative New Zealand’s Communities
Grants Scheme latest funding round.
The grants, worth almost $90,000, were
made to specific community arts and cultural
projects taking place in Christchurch, which
benefit Christchurch citizens.The largest grant,
of $4000, was made to the Christchurch
Community Arts Council to put towards the
planning of a regional arts guide. Eighty-five
applications were received, the
majority being for performing arts
and visual arts projects.
The Christchurch City Council
has worked in partnership with
Creative New Zealand since 1995
to distribute funds to local projects
that make the arts more accessible
to people, and increase community
interest and participation.
The City Council administers the
arts funding locally. Each year it receives
$5000 plus 60 cents per resident (around
$200,000 for 2002/03) from Creative NZ.
This is split in to two funding rounds, the
first for projects that start after 1 June, and
the second for projects that begin after 1
December. Applications for the next
funding round close on 28 September.
An information evening about the
scheme is being held on Thursday 8
August from 6-8pm in the Elizabeth Kelly
Room at the Arts Centre.
For application forms and more
information, call the Council Arts Advisers,
Marlene Le Cren on 941 8886, or Rhonda
Thomson (Arts Adviser Maori & Cultural)
on 941 6413).
