For many people, it’s relatively easy to go to an arts  event but for disabled people in New Zealand, that choice is often made hard by all the barriers that can leave the doors to an arts event closed. Creative New Zealand in partnership with Arts Access Aotearoa has published Arts for All | Ngā toi mo te katoa. This guide provides practical and long-term ways for artists and arts organisations to enhance their access, market their events to the disabled community and build new audiences.

Creative New Zealand publications cover a wide variety of topics of interest to local authorities including arts participation, Asian Aucklanders and the Arts, speeches, manuals and guides.

Funding is available for local community based arts activities in your area from the Creative Communities Scheme (CCS). The aim of the scheme is to increase participation in the arts at a local level, and increase the range and diversity of arts available to communities. The scheme is a partnership between CNZ and the 74 local authorities. Each local authority takes responsibility for delivering the Scheme in its area.

Creative New Zealand offers a range of contestable funding programmes for one off arts projects and professional arts organisations.
