Creative New Zealand new funding structure from 2024
In 2024, Creative NZ completely changed their funding structure. They created eight new funds split between individual arts practitioners and arts organisations. The new funding is based around creation rather than final production, with an emphasis on vision and purpose. There is also a strong focus on capability building for arts practitioners and supporting arts organisations through operational funding. We have put together a summary of the different funds, which you can read here. For further information, visit CNZ’s website.

Everything you need to know about hosting a Zoom webinar
While we were in Covid-19 lockdown, we took the opportunity to study up on all aspects of running a Zoom webinar, so we thought we’d share our notes with you. A Zoom webinar is different to a meeting as attendees cannot see each other and the host cannot see attendees, however they can manage them. A webinar has registration, reporting and in-meeting chat for attendees. For further information, click here.
