Tēna Koe,

Auckland Council would like to invite you to Te Whakaminenga Toi, Tamaki Makaurau Māori Artists’ Forum.

Kaupapa: Vision

This Forum is both a celebration of Māori arts in Tamaki Makaurau and an opportunity to share skills and build capacity for the Maori creative arts economy.

This gathering will bring together Maori artists, local government, experts in economic and business development for Maori, innovators, entrepreneurs and iwi leaders. The outcome of this Forum will lay the foundations for the Maori creative arts economy into the future.

Rautaki: Objectives

This forum will specifically address and develop strategies to achieve the following aspirations, and articulate potential pathways forward:

  • Realising the economic potential of Toi Maori within the Tamaki Makaurau region
  • Building the ‘big picture’, collaboration, cooperation and capacity
  • Tino Rangatiratanga: Putting the ‘self’ into self-determination for Maori creative arts
  • Whakawhanaungatanga: Networking

Athough the forum is over 2 days this is not a noho marae and spaces are limited so please RSVP asap. Auckland Council is sponsoring this event and so there will be no costs to participants.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any queries.

Nga mihi
