Are you a local performer, musician, creative or artist? Do you have a creative project that you’d like to make happen in the Māngere Ōtāhuhu area between April and September 2017?

Sally Barnett from Māngere Ōtāhuhu Arts

We are looking for people and organisations to submit ideas for creative projects that happen in and with local communities.

These projects could involve craft, perfromance, visual arts, music, film, dance, kapa haka, spoken word, or digital arts - anything that has a creative angle to it - and could happen everywhere from the street to theatres, shopping centres or marae.

The main criteria for this programme are:
a way to meaningfully involve your community
projects are led by local people
each project has a strong creative idea behind it

If your project is selected, the Māngere Ōtāhuhu Arts Brokers can support you to fulfil your vision, assist with funding, and also help to find the right location or people for you to work with.

If you are interested in getting involved, please send us an email briefly describing:
Your idea and any useful links or images
Some information about you or your organisation
Who you would be working with in the community
Your contact details
Where you live or how you are connected to the Māngere Ōtāhuhu area
What support you need for your project ( venue, participants, marketing etc)
If you are looking for funding support, please provide details around how much funding you need and what specifically you would use this for.

Please send the above information by TUESDAY FEBRUARY 28 to:

bronwyn@mangereotahuhuarts.org.nz

Mob. 021 913 423

If you would like to talk more before submitting a project, please get in touch.

Kia ora!

Supported and funded by the Māngere Ōtāhuhu Local Board.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
