The Arts Council of New Zealand Toi Aotearoa (Creative New Zealand) is the national arts development agency of the New Zealand government established in 1963. It invests in artists and arts organisations, offering capability building programmes and developing markets and audiences for New Zealand arts domestically and internationally.
Creative New Zealand started out as the Queen Elizabeth II Arts Council which was set up in 1963. Prior to that in the 1940s because of centennial celebrations the government set up a cultural office within the Department of Internal Affairs, the New Zealand Film Unit and a national orchestra. A literary fund was also established.[1]
The Māori and South Pacific Arts Council (MASPAC) was part of the Queen Elizabeth II Arts Council. They were set up in 1978 to 'encourage, promote and develop the practice and appreciation of the arts and crafts of the Māori and South Pacific people in New Zealand.'[2] One of the things they did in the early 1980s was acknowledge weaving as an artform which had been a desire of Ngoi Pēwhairangi.[3] In 1983 MASPAC awarded funding to Misa Emma Kesha to establish the Dunedin Multicultural Weavers Association so cultures could exchange their artforms and Indigenous stories,[3] and in the same year Emily Schuster became the convener of a steering committee to look at the needs of weavers around Aotearoa New Zealand.[4]
In 1993 the Arts Council restructured with separate general and Māori arts boards.[1] In 1994 the crown entity of Creative New Zealand replaced the Queen Elizabeth II Arts Council.[5]
In 2012, Creative New Zealand introduced Toi Uru Kahikatea Arts Development and Toi Tōtara Haemata Leadership Investments to replace the Recurrently Funded Organisations funding. Arts Development Investments provide funding for three years for established artists, arts practitioners, groups and arts organisations.
