Job description:

The Creative Communities Scheme supports and encourages local communities to create and present diverse opportunities for accessing and participating in arts activities.

Under the scheme, 'the arts' are broadly defined as 'all forms of creative and interpretative expression'. This includes opportunities for creative participation in theatre, music, visual arts, digital art, applied arts, arts education, Toi Maori, literary workshops, digital storytelling, and many other activities.

In 2010, Creative New Zealand revised some of the criteria and assessment of the Creative Communities Scheme. If you have applied to the Creative Communities Scheme in the past you will notice some changes.

Across Auckland, funding is broken into geographical areas (North, West, Central, South and Auckland-wide).

Local rounds - for projects that primarily engage participlant and audiences in one of the four areas: North, West, Central and South. Local rounds are available in August and February.

The Auckland-wide round - for projects across two or more geographical areas eg a music workshop that happens in Flat Bush, Avondale and Muriwai. Auckland-wide round is available in August only.

Application writing workshops

There will be information sessions around the region to help with understanding the process and preparing applications.
