Arts Alive distributes $450,000 per annum in grants to Auckland‘s professional performing artists and organisations. The two primary objectives of Arts Alive are to support and develop the professional performing arts in Auckland and to develop and build audiences. This fund has the following priorities:
- Auckland City Council Arts Alive invites proposals in two rounds per year, from individuals, organisations, venues seeking funding for their projects in the city.
- Around $225,000 is allocated in each round.
- Projects may be a single production, a series of concerts or performances, a one-off show or concert, or a festival and must be a professional music, dance, theatre or multi-disciplinary project.
- Arts Alive does not support school projects, community or amateur groups.
- The recipients of funding by Arts Alive must be prepared to enter into funding agreements that will provide Auckland City Council with the opportunity to promote its involvement in, and support of the professional performing arts in Auckland.
