CREATIVES CALL-OUT: 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 Jan and Sept 2018?
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, performance, 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:
- to meaningfully involve your community
- projects are led by local people
- each project has a strong creative idea behind it
The Māngere Ōtāhuhu Arts Broker, Renée Tanner, can support you to develop and deliver your creative project or idea, whether this be assisting with funding, or helping to find the right location or people for you to work with.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
23.5% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.6% ... It is complicated
