Kāpiti projects get over $20k Creative NZ funding

Published 07 May 2019

Fourteen creative Kāpiti groups and individuals benefitted from the first 2019 round of Creative Communities Scheme grants for community arts projects.

Just over $22,200 was awarded by Kāpiti Coast District Council’s Grants Allocation Committee on the recommendations of the Council’s Creative Communities Committee, which includes community, iwi, and youth representatives.

Cr Mark Benton, Chair of the Grants Allocation Committee, says the Committee continues to be impressed with the high quality of applications for the funds.

“It’s been another tough process to select from so many worthwhile projects from our creative communities but it’s great to see the range of arts projects put forward for funding continue to grow,” he says.

“It’s been pleasing to see more arts groups working to get their organisations on a more sustainable footing and be able to present regular projects to audiences.”

There were also more applications for projects with a focus on Ngā Toi Māori (Māori arts) in this round in this round, he said.

“Kāpiti residents can look forward to events that had great responses last year, like the Kāpiti Music Festival and Toro Piko Piko puppet shows, as well as exciting new projects like Island Sway Pasifika dance classes and the Intergenerational Women’s Whakapapa Quilting workshop and exhibition at Māoriland Hub,” Cr Benton says.

There will be a second grant process later in 2019 with applications closing on 18 July. More information on the grant criteria and how to apply is on the Council’s website.

The successful grant applicants and their projects for this round of the 2017/2018 financial year are:
