CNZ survey for emerging artists
Creative New Zealand (CNZ) has begun a research project on young emerging arts practitioners in New Zealand. This project's purpose is to profile the professional development of promising young artists and practitioners and to help inform policy development around how the Arts Council can best support them and their work in the future. It will form part of a broader policy framework at CNZ about young people and the arts in New Zealand.
As part of this research an online survey is underway in which emerging arts practitioners are invited to participate who
- have excelled and/or demonstrated promise in their chosen forms of practice
- are aged between 18 and 30 years
- have made a positive commitment to the arts – i.e. they have made a conscious decision to develop their chosen form of arts practice to a professional standard
- are in their first 5 years of committed arts practice
- are actively involved in the arts, i.e. are currently ‘doing’, ‘producing’ or ‘supporting’ their art
and/or
- are currently training to further develop their art.
Arts practitioners are defined as artists, writers and practitioners in all forms of arts practice currently recognised through CNZ funding bodies, including heritage-based (e.g. Maori, Pacific or Western arts) and contemporary forms of arts practice (e.g. media arts, interarts). The term practitioner also includes people who enable an arts project to occur. This may include producers, managers, technicians, publishers, curators, agents, dealers and community arts organisers. Practitioners are people who may not necessarily classify themselves as "artists", but who may be essential for creating, presenting and/or distributing an artwork.
