Auckland Arts Festival Whānui programme
Noma here from the Auckland Arts Festival Whānui programme, we are calling for proposals from Auckland based artists across all disciplines who would be interested in working with us to design and deliver an intergenerational project. We are looking for four projects in total: one each in North, South, East and West Auckland regions.
In the past we have had a range of one-off shows, short performance seasons, 3 week long exhibitions and a digital gallery. To provide you with a bit of context as to the scale, this video gives an overview of our 2017 projects.
Selected artists would be paid a fee to deliver their project and have full support from the Festival.
If you’d like to submit an expression of interest, we’d love to hear from you - please go here: form.jotform.co...
Closing date for submissions is Monday 20 November, 5pm.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
