Creative New Zealand Toi Aotearoa are to host the 2022 Pacific Arts Summit on 11 – 13 October at Te Papa Tongarewa in Wellington

Creative New Zealand brings together Pasifika artists, practitioners and organisations to talanoa about the future of Pacific arts.

Creative New Zealand is inviting creatives of Pacific heritage to register their in-person attendance at the Pacific Arts Summit in Wellington. Held on 11 – 13 October at Te Papa Tongarewa, this event will bring together Pasifika artists, practitioners and organisations to talanoa about the future of Pacific arts.

A key focus of the summit will be looking at Creative New Zealand’s Pacific Arts Strategy 2018-2023 and its implementation over the past five years, as well as getting input into the next five year strategy.

If you are a Pasifika artist or creative, please register your attendance via link at the end of this email. Please only register if you will attend in-person. Registrations close midday Friday 7 October.

Once registered, more information will be sent through, including the complete programme.

Please note that priority will be given to creatives of Pacific heritage, because this event will contribute to the development of the Pacific Arts Strategy 2023 – 2028. There will be opportunities for engagement from the arts sector and wider communities following this event.

If you would like to attend, but aren’t able to commit to all three days – aua le popole, no worries! We would still like you to register here anyway.

Travel Subsidy:
Tautai Contemporary Pacific Arts Trust will be distributing travel subsidy fees for up to 50 Pacific artists. If you require support to attend the Pacific Arts Summit, please email tautai@tautai.org with your request with an attached proof of registration to the summit.
