Aim:

To strengthen links between Pacific Islands artists and the Tangata whenua. This funding programme recognises and strengthens links that artists have already formed themselves, re-affirming common cultural values and artforms. Priorities: We will favour projects that: involve collaborations between Maori and Pacific Islands artists, promote the arts of people who are of Maori and Pacific Islands descent and involve cultural and artistic exchanges between Maori and Pacific Islands arts and artists.
