Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland is a city alive with culture, art, and creativity, and it will be lost if Auckland Council's proposed 36.5M funding cut comes about.

The Council’s funding of art and culture is a tiny proportion of the total council budget, but delivers a big impact for Aucklanders by supporting galleries, theatre, comedy, music, dance, events and more.

Funding is access/livelihood/opportunity. Access to art and culture is essential for our city and people to thrive.
