Creative New Zealand has developed partnerships with two key Māori arts organisations, Toi Ngāpuhi in Te Taitokerau (Northland) and the organisation that oversees Te Tairawhiti Arts Festival on the East Coast, that will support regional development in the arts with a focus on ngā toi Māori that is aligned to the vision of Creative New Zealand’s national strategy for Māori arts ‘Te Hā o ngā toi Māori’ to be visible everywhere and highly valued as part of New Zealand’s distinct identity, which is admired globally.
