Join
Join Kotahi (united, one), our giving collective that boosts opportunities for artists and amplifies their impact on New Zealand.
Your funds will go directly toward ten Arts Foundation Laureates each year, selected by an expert panel across all arts disciplines and regions of New Zealand.
Together, let’s amplify the impact our country’s most outstanding artists are having on New Zealand, whether it’s strengthening our cultural identity, furthering their discipline and communities, contributing to the wellbeing of Aotearoa, or leading important change.
