Thank you for your proposals, we are excited to be able to tautoko a diverse group of projects in the coming year. Announcements coming soon.

Arts Whau supports community arts projects created by and for local people in the Whau through funding, advice and practical support.  Your Whau Community Arts Brokers are Janet Lilo and Jody Yawa McMillan and funding is possible thanks to the Whau Local Board.

What can I apply for?

You can apply for funding for a project in any art form; music, writing, visual arts, games, theatre, digital experiments, workshops, poetry, dance, film, food to walking projects (to name just a few past projects). What’s important is that the project:

*   meaningfully involves a local community and/or community themes

*   is led by a local or someone with strong local connections

*   has an strong creative idea behind it

*   and takes place in the Whau Local Board area between September 2022 and June 2023.

What will the funding cover?

Arts Whau will pay for project management time, artist fees, project costs, access support, promotion, and manaakitanga. In previous years Arts Whau has funded between 12 and 17 projects a year and funding has ranged from $300 for a single workshop to $12,000 for a multi week multi artist project.
