Creative New Zealand has launched resources to support arts and creative practitioners make sustainable careers and businesses from their work, and to provide them with the skills and tools to do so.
The resources aim to support practitioners and arts organisations to implement Creative New Zealand’s Remuneration Policy, which sets out principles and practice guidelines aimed at supporting fair remuneration for artists and arts practitioners (from Creative NZ).
Introductory workshops will be hosted in Auckland, Wellington and Dunedin across May and June, as well as an online one for those who missed out.

FromThePit is Aotearoa’s longest running music photo exhibition, now in its sixth consecutive year. This year has seen a particularly large pool of photographers, having grown over the years.

Beth had a kōrero with Brad Miller about FromThePit.
