<\/a>A strategy for the arts<\/strong>
\nAlongside Creative New Zealand<\/a>, ChristchurchNZ<\/a>, the R\u0101t\u0101 Foundation<\/a> and other key supporters, the Council is now developing a new citywide strategy for the arts that maps out the steps we\u2019re taking.<\/p>\n

Our goal is to create a broad, inclusive strategy that covers all forms of arts and creativity in \u014ctautahi Christchurch, and makes sure the city continues to value its creative side. The end result will be an innovative and exciting place to live, where our creativity helps us reach our potential.<\/p>\n

The Council\u2019s current Arts Policy and Strategy was last updated in 2001, and the Art in Public Places Policy in 2002. A lot has changed since then, especially the issues and opportunities that have come up after the 2011 Canterbury earthquakes.<\/p>\n

Along with our key supporters, we\u2019re working with the arts community and education sector. It\u2019s a collaborative process, and we want you to be involved.<\/p>\n

<\/a>What’s the Process?<\/strong>
\n– 2017
\nSector advocacy for a new strategy for the arts in \u014ctautahi Christchurch, with discussions between Creative New Zealand and Christchurch City Council.
\n– March 2018
\nSteering Group established to oversee the development of a co-created citywide strategy for the arts. Steering Group membership: (Rotating Chair) Christchurch City Council, Creative NZ, R\u0101t\u0101 Foundation, ChristchurchNZ, University of Canterbury, Ara Institute, Word Chch, Arts Centre Trust.
\n– May 2018
\nWorking Party established on recommendation of the Steering Group, to ensure a collaborative approach to the development of the strategy, and to develop a plan to provide broad sector engagement. Working Party membership: (Independent Chair \u2013 Huia Lambie) Christchurch City Council, CoCA, \u014ctautahi Creative, RAD Collective, mana whenua representatives, Christchurch Symphony Orchestra, Court Theatre, Arts Centre Trust.
\n– June 2018
\nEngagement Planning. The Working Party led development of an engagement plan to ensure opportunities for the sector to provide input for the strategy. Workshops were planned at different times and locations to discuss issues and opportunities for the future of the arts in Christchurch.
\n– July 2018
\nArts sector workshops. Two workshops each were held at the XCHC and UC at the Arts Centre, and others held at CoCA, Te Kura Tawhito, and the Akaroa Museum. Attendees were asked to describe why arts are important to them and to Christchurch, and to discuss what the local art scene was like pre-quakes, how it is now, and what they\u2019d like it to look like in 10 years. They were then asked to identify hand brakes and accelerators that would either slow down or speed up progress towards achieving the more creative place they\u2019d like the city to become. All ideas were collated and common themes identified. An online option for providing input for those unable to attend workshops is available.
\n– August 2018
\nOpen forum going in-depth on the themes that came up in the July workshops, and a Mana whenua workshop, focused on the same issues as the wider sector workshops, to ensure the views of mana whenua are included and incorporated into the draft strategy.
\n– September 2018
\nFirst draft of strategy developed. The Working Party will discuss all the feedback from the workshops and public forum, and help refine the key themes and key actions that will help achieve the goals. They will then oversee the development of the first draft of the strategy. Later that month, Working Party and Steering Group partners will workshop the first draft. The various members will then share the draft with the leadership of their organisations to ensure their ongoing support, and suggest any edits they think could strengthen the document.
\n– October 2018
\nDraft released for public feedback. Once agreement is reached on recommended edits, the Steering Group will recommend the draft be released online for public feedback for at least three weeks.
\n– November 2018
\nPublic feedback collated. All feedback received from the community will be collated and considered by the Working Party to see how the feedback could be used to improve the various parts of the strategy document. The Steering Group partners will then consider the feedback and recommend any final amendments to the strategy. The Working Party will then make sure these recommended changes are made to strengthen the document.
\n– December 2018
\nThe Steering Group partners will make a decision on endorsing the final strategy. Each partner organisation will make a decision according to their own governance arrangements.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Arts in Christchurch
\n<\/strong>Christchurch City Council is committed to achieving an enlivened and creative city, where the arts are recognised as being essential to cultural and social well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Arts Policy and Strategy<\/a> aims to support the development of local artists, generate new opportunities for employment and artistic expression and participation, as well as improving the quality of the built environment through public arts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Arts Advisors are available to provide advice and assistance to artists, arts organisations and the wider community, and are interested in fostering partnerships and collaborative projects.<\/p>\n

Council provides a range of funding mechanisms to support arts and cultural projects, creative organisations and businesses, including the Creative Communities Scheme<\/a> (managed on behalf of Creative New Zealand ), the Strengthening Communities Fund<\/a>, the Creative Industries Support Fund, the Transitional City Projects Fund, and the Events and Festivals Fund<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Toi M\u0101ori<\/strong>
\nThe Council is committed to local M\u0101ori arts practice and language development.<\/p>\n

M\u0101ori arts celebrate our unique past and are making an invaluable contribution to the city\u2019s rebuild.<\/p>\n

Council has legislated responsibilities to M\u0101ori which includes ensuring there are opportunities for M\u0101ori to participate in public life.<\/p>\n

Promoting and developing traditional and contemporary M\u0101ori arts practices and language in \u014ctautahi Christchurch is an important component of this and is given effect through Council\u2019s Arts Policy and Strategy.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Arts in the rebuild<\/strong>
\nArts and culture have a major role to play in the rebuild and revitalisation of our city.<\/p>\n

Creative life is being brought back to the central city with a number of anchor projects in the central city that will draw on the rich natural and cultural heritage of the city, and provide Christchurch with world-class facilities, including the Christchurch Art Gallery<\/a>, Christchurch Town Hall<\/a>, Performing Arts Precinct<\/a>, and Central Library<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Council is also encouraging developers to enhance significant building work underway in the city through a hoarding rebate scheme<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Open Forum<\/strong>
\nWe\u2019re looking to create an environment where \u014ctautahi Christchurch becomes known as city for artists \u2013 one that values creativity, and where the Treaty partnership is strong.<\/p>\n

After a series of workshops and online contributions, we\u2019ve consolidated some common themes, and we\u2019d like your help to develop them further.<\/p>\n

To do this we\u2019ve developed four draft statements, or goals, to focus attention on the ways arts and creativity will benefit the city in the future:
\n– The arts are pivotal to telling our story, and to connecting us to our past and this place.
\n– The arts showcase a creative and innovative city.
\n– The arts bring life to the city.
\n– The arts make a real difference in people\u2019s everyday lives.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll be asking you two questions that relate to the goals and the things we can do to make them a reality:
\n– How could you (or your group) respond to help achieve each goal?
\n– How do you think partner agencies could respond to help achieve each goal?<\/p>\n
