- A bit about
Creative Tairawhiti is the organisation that drives www.TairawhitiArts.net. Known in a previous life as Creative Gisborne, and before that the Gisborne Arts Council, Creative Tairawhiti has in essence been around for some thirty odd years.
With start-up funding from Regional Strengths Maurangi Toi, a partnership between Creative New Zealand and the Ministry of Social Development, and the support of the Gisborne and Wairoa District Councils, TairawhitiArts.net was established in August 2007.
Through TairawhitiArts.net we hope to link the individuals and groups that make up our local arts community with each other and the rest of the world. We aim to provide the means by which you can learn about what’s going on in Tairawhiti and who’s doing what. We hope you find artists creating works that you like and that you might want to buy, and events that you won’t want to miss out on.
We also aim to provide our members with lots of useful resources and tools with which to do what they do better.
Tairawhiti is a vast area geographically, with tracts of rural farmland connecting small isolated coastal townships to the North, and stretching Southward through a meandering gorge to Wairoa via the beautiful Mahia Peninsula. Through TairawhitiArts.net we hope to create an online sector that reflects the spirit and colour that exist in our real world, te Tairawhiti.
Creative TairawhitiCreative Tairawhiti aims to support our creative community by facilitating professional development initiatives, arts events and creating new opportunities in the creative sector.
We are interested in all creative practices and we are all about getting more people involved in the arts, both as practitioners and audiences. We think this is important for the intrinsic social good that the arts bring to a community and we want to find ways to make the arts a financially viable prospect.
- Big Idea
To ignite art mania in our region. Where creativity is a compulsive activity and the degree of success in that creation is high.
