There are three Community Arts Councils in Rodney District: East Rodney, North Rodney and South Kaipara. The Arts Councils are made up of volunteers within the community who are art practitioners, or who have a particular interest in the arts.
Membership is open to everyone with an interest in arts, and it’s a great way to participate in the shaping and support of arts in our communities.
The Community Arts Councils support the arts within their local areas in a variety of ways:
- the organisation of the Rodney District Art Awards (with support from the RDC)
- the assessment of Creative Communities funding applications on behalf of the Rodney District Council and Creative New Zealand.
The Arts Councils also get involved in curating exhibitions, participating in arts projects and supporting arts events in the district.
