Multidisciplinary Arts

Creative New Zealand regularly consults with the arts sector to ensure its funding priorities, programmes and initiatives keep pace with new arts practices and with New Zealand’s changing arts environment.

Multidisciplinary Arts
During the past four years Creative New Zealand has been reviewing its support for each artform it funds, media arts (2011), Maori arts (2012), Pacific arts (2013), music (2013), dance (2013), visual arts (2014), craft/object art (2014), literature (2015), opera (2015), theatre (2015).

To incorporate reviews of those arts activities and organisations which involve multiple artforms, rather than one primary artform, Creative New Zealand is reviewing how it defines and supports multidisciplinary arts.

The multidisciplinary organisations its supports through its investment programmes Toi Totara Haemata and Toi Uru Kahikatea are as follows:

• Arts Access Aotearoa – Whakahauhau Katoa o Hanga
• Arts On Tour New Zealand
• Auckland Arts Festival
• Capital E
• Christchurch Arts Festival
• New Zealand International Arts Festival
• Otago Festival of the Arts
• Southern Lakes Arts Festival
• Taranaki Arts Festival
• The Big Idea
• WOMAD

Creative New Zealand is seeking feedback on multidisciplinary arts via an online questionnaire. This includes identifying a key role/s in New Zealand’s arts infrastructure for multidisciplinary arts, which would be funded via our Toi Totara Haemata (Arts Leadership) investment programme.

The deadline for completing the online questionnaire is 5pm on 2 March 2015.
