- Networking – Provide sector representation and networking opportunities for the industry with stakeholders, partners and other key influencers
- Communication platforms – Provide communication platforms and facilitation to enable sector collaboration
- Building capability – Strengthen sector capability by providing quality market research, education and best practice case studies.
- Advocacy – Provide a strong and credible voice for the sector
Member Profile
Arts WellingtonThe Wellington Regional Arts & Cultural Development Trust (Arts Wellington) was formed in April 2005, driven by the requirement for a strong collaborative regional arts marketing body. Working alongside individual arts, culture and heritage organisations, each with its own business objectives, Arts Wellington’s focus is on building capability, cross-sector collaboration and strategic development of Wellington’s arts audience.
