Creative New Zealand launches 15-year strategy to strengthen the arts and ngā toi Māori

Creative New Zealand - Toi Aotearoa, 19 March 2026 , New Zealand

Creative New Zealand, the national arts development agency, has today released two landmark strategies that set a new long-term direction for how the arts and ngā toi Māori (Māori arts) will be supported and developed. 

Together, the strategies set a vision for an Aotearoa New Zealand where vibrant arts and ngā toi flourish – enriching everyday life, strengthening communities and connecting New Zealand’s creativity with the world. 

Tū Mai RāToi Aotearoa is Creative New Zealand’s first 15-year strategy and sets a bold new course through to 2040. The Toi Ora Strategy will guide support for ngā toi Māori to 2030.
