arts practitioners across all cultures and artforms. Any individual,
organisation or group
can apply for funding for clearly defined, one-off projects.
The Arts Board
has three programmes that music applicants can apply under:
i) Creative and Professional Development to support artists and other arts practitioners
to
develop their
skills, experience, knowledge and networks;
ii) New Work to support the creation of original New Zealand work; and
iii) Presentation, Promotion and Audience Development to support the presentation and
promotion of work by New Zealand practitioners, and to develop audiences and
markets for New
Zealand work.
Priority w ill be given to strong applications that will deliver at least one of the following
benefits or outcomes:
i) creative and professional development opportunities for individual practitioners where
there are
likely to be long-term benefits for New Zealand music;
ii) sustainable c areers for professional composers, musicians and practitioners (emergent,
mid-career and
senior) through targeted support at key career stages;
iii) rewarding careers for professional composers, musicians and practitioners (emergent,
mid-career and senior) through the development of high-quality, innovative work
in a
variety of music
genres;
iv) the growth of
culturally diverse new work;
v) thriving and well-resourced professional music organisations;
vi) the maintenance and growth of existing audiences for New Zealand-made music;
vii) strategically focussed international audience and market development opportunities for
New Zealand music with a clear
potential for long-term benefits; and
viii) publications that focus on high-quality critical discourse on New Zealand music.
(b) Te Waka T oi, the Māori arts board,
supports the arts of Māori. Individuals, groups and
organisations can apply for funding for clearly defined, one-off projects.
To apply unde r Te Waka Toi’s funding
programmes, the following “for Māori by Māori”
criteria must be met:
i) the applicants/s
must be of Māori descent;
ii) the project must be managed and directed by Māori;
iii) the project must benefit Māori;
iv) if the applicant is a legal entity, as opposed to an individual or group of individuals,
