Applications are open for the February 2021 round of the Creative Communities Scheme.

This scheme supports and encourages local communities to create and present diverse opportunities for accessing and participating in arts activities within the South Wairarapa. The scheme is a partnership between Councils and Creative NZ and we are calling for applications for projects within 12 months of 19 March 2021.

Applications close Friday 26 February 2021 and there is approximately $25,000 available for distribution.

A further round for 2020/21 may be held in May 2021 if there are funds remaining.

We are also seeking nominations for community representatives to sit on the assessment group that allocates funding.

Further details and forms to apply or to nominate someone to sit on the assessment group are available from here. Forms are also available from South Wairarapa libraries and the Council office in Martinborough.
