Whilst CHART's focus is the Whangarei District and encompases Culture and Heritage, Creative Northland is mandated to develop Regional Arts across Northland.
Creative Northland funded by the Northland Regional Council and managed by CHART, has secured major funding from Creative New Zealand to bring a selection of shows and creative works to the North. This will be an opportunity for the community to engage with what is happening elsewhere in the country and add capacity to the potential that is currently available in the district and in Northland.
Sarah Boon, Regional Arts Development Manager says "Creative Northland is about developing Northland as an arts and cultural destination and creating a sustainable environment for our artists. We aim to make Northland a lifestyle choice for new business and families by offering a great arts experience for both the producer and the consumer"
