Creating opportunities for employment for artists, across
all artistic mediums
Apart from providing funding for artist led initiatives, Auckland City Council
also employs artists on a regular basis on all sorts of projects. All opportunities
are advertised on The Big Idea website

Develop new skills to assist them as professional practicing
artists
Each year we run Business of Arts seminar series in conjunction with School of
Art and Design at AUT. Information will be posted when the next registrations are
open.
