For creatives
If you haven’t already submitted an expression of interest (EOI), you can submit one
here
. It isn’t mandatory to submit an expression of interest; you can still partner with kura and schools and submit the joint application without an EOI.
For kura and schools
You may choose to engage directly with a creative you already have a relationship with in your local community, or find one from this list. Please note that professional artists and creative practitioners who are listed on this page are not police vetted. As the kura or school leading the project, you must organise the police vetting check of your creative(s) before the project commences. If a creative does not 'pass' the vetting, you must inform the Ministry of Education by email (
[email protected]
) so we can remove that creative's profile from the Arts Online website (if selected from available creatives database).
Once you’ve selected a creative from the list, click below to request a copy of their complete profile(s). When filling the request form, please enter:
- the creative ID of your chosen creative
- your kura or school name and school ID
- details of a contact person at your kura or school.
