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?
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

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

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
