All In For Arts: He waka toi e eke noa nei tātou.

We’re coming to a town near you to celebrate and amplify the ways New Zealanders are using creativity to enrich their lives.

Thanks to Creative New Zealand, The Chartwell Trust, and Stuff – All in for Arts: He waka toi e eke noa nei tātou returns in March 2025! We're bringing together leaders, decision makers, artists and creative champions to amplify the arts, and uncover how creativity can propel us forward. These breakfast events are free, and everyone is welcome – even if you haven’t felt creative in years!
