Otago Community Trust and the Dunedin City Council are pleased to announce the Arts & Culture Capability Fund recipients for 2021.

Otago Community Trust and the Dunedin City Council approved Arts Capability funding of $57,260 to eight Dunedin based arts and culture organisations for capability-based initiatives in areas of governance and management.

This contestable fund is jointly run with the Dunedin City Council and is only available to Arts & Culture organisations based in the Dunedin City boundary which are committed to supporting and contributing to Ara Toi Otepoti: Our Creative Future - Dunedin’s Arts and Culture Strategy.

Organisations may apply for up to $10,000 for assistance with arts capability building. The fund’s priority is to support organisations that are interested in collaborating with others and to support the sustainability, development and innovation of arts and culture groups across the city.
