Kāpiti Coast District Council has funding available through its Creative Community Scheme to help artists and community
organisations with local art initiatives.
Libraries & Cultural Services Manager, Ian Littleworth, says more than $21,000 is available for creative initiatives throughout the
district.
“The Scheme is a great opportunity for artists and community organisations in the district to make a difference and
connect Kāpiti locals with our vibrant and diverse art scene, activities, and embrace arts and cultural traditions.
“We’re looking for projects and initiatives that bring people together and foster creativity and cultural traditions in
our community. We’re also keen to support projects that encourage our tamariki to participate in the arts, this includes
projects such as exhibitions and creative workshops.”
Applications for the Creative Communities Scheme close 5pm, Friday 22 July and more information, including eligibility
criteria and application forms, are available on the Council’s website atkapiticoast.govt.nz/CreativeCommunities or by contacting the teamatcreativecs@kapiticoast.govt.nz.
