The Arts

The arts are powerful forms of expression that recognise, value, and contribute to the unique bi-cultural and multicultural character of Aotearoa New Zealand, enriching the lives of all New Zealanders.

The arts have their own distinct languages that use both verbal and non-verbal conventions, mediated by selected processes and technologies. Through movement, sound, and image, the arts transform people’s creative ideas into expressive works that communicate layered meanings.
