Dancers! Weavers! Sculptors! Drummers! Movie makers! Whatever your artform is: do you know you can get funding for your community arts project? Approximately $22,000 is available (in this funding round) for arts and cultural projects from the Creative Communities Scheme, administered by the Kapiti Coast District Council and funded by Creative New Zealand.

Projects must meet one or more of three key funding criteria:

• Broad community involvement – The project will create opportunities for our local communities to engage with and participate in arts activities.

Diversity – The project will support the diverse arts and cultural traditions of our local communities, enriching and promoting their uniqueness and cultural diversity.

• Young people – The project will enable and encourage young people (under 18 years) to engage with and actively participate in the arts. We welcome applications for projects with a Toi Maori focus and with a high degree of participation.

Key Dates for this funding round:

• 4pm, Thursday 6 August 2020 - applications closing date
