Arts Alive funding scheme
Arts Alive is an Auckland City Council performing arts funding programme that supports independent performing arts professionals.
The programmes objectives are:
- to build audiences for the performing arts and
- to develop and maintain Auckland's performing arts infrastructure including resources, skills, information, professional support and networks
Auckland City Council receives proposals in March and August each year from individuals, organisations, venues or businesses seeking funding for their projects in the city.
Projects may be a production season, a performance series, a one-night show or concert, or festival work of music, dance or theatre, or a combination of these artforms.
Arts Alive does not support school projects, community or amateur groups.
The applicants must be prepared to enter a funding agreement that provides an arts grant for their project and the opportunity for Auckland City Council to promote its involvement in and support of the professional performing arts in Auckland.
