Calling all Franklin performers, musicians, creatives and artists who have a community creative project they’d like to kick start in 2017!
A new creative initiative has started in the Franklin area to support artists, community groups and businesses to initiate a wide range of community arts projects across all art forms.
Arts managers Sally Barnett and Bronwyn Bent, who have worked extensively with communities and artists from across Auckland, have been contracted to manage the new Franklin Community Arts Broker role, which is funded and supported by the Franklin Local Board.
“We are looking for people and organisations to submit ideas for creative projects that happen in and with local communities. These projects could involve craft, visual arts, music, film, dance, kapa haka, spoken word, or digital arts - anything that has a creative angle to it - and could happen everywhere from the street to theatres, shopping centres or marae. This could be your opportunity to showcase your talent, or support your community through the arts.” Sally Barnett
The main criteria for the programme are that the project must have a strong creative idea behind it, and must engage directly with the Franklin Community.
If your project is selected, the Franklin Community Arts Brokers can support you to develop your vision, assist with funding, and also help to find the right location or people for you to work with.
The call for proposals closes January 20th, so don’t miss out!

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
