Creative Communities Arts Scheme closes Monday

Are you involved in a creative community project and need funding?

The Marlborough Creative Communities Arts Scheme aims to increase access and participation in local arts activities. Applications for Round 1 of the fund for 2025/2026 close at 8am on Monday 29 September.

“This fund supports and encourages local communities to create and present diverse opportunities for accessing and participating in arts activities,” Council’s Arts, Culture and Heritage Manager Nicola Neilson said.

“Individuals or groups can apply to this fund for support for materials for arts activities or programmes, venue or equipment hire, personnel and administrative costs for short-term projects, and promotion and publicity of arts activities.

“From this year, applications must also align with the pathways set out in Council’s Te Atatū Arts, Culture & Creativity Strategy 2024 - 2034,” she said.

All applications must meet the Creative New Zealand criteria outlined in the application guide on Council’s website.
