Creative Partnerships
At the core of what Creative Partnerships does is building relationships and supporting projects that help realise Ara Toi Ōtepoti – the Arts and Culture Strategy. Creative Partnerships comprises a Team Leader, two Creative Advisors, and a part-time Administrator.
The team develops and maintains relationships with external creative institutions and agencies, internal DCC teams, and the local creative communities. They regularly meet with groups and individuals to provide advice and assistance.
Creative Partnerships supports Ōtepoti creative practitioners with guidance, resources, and advocacy so that they can do what they do best, whether it’s a public sculptural installation, Pāsifika dance classes, or a spontaneous trombone concert.
The team works to ensure that Ōtepoti’s arts, cultural, and creative life is as vibrant and engaging as its inhabitants and that all those who call Ōtepoti home have a place in the city’s creative landscape.

Having a career that nourishes you creatively and culturally can be incredibly rewarding. Like any job however, working in the arts, culture, and creative sectors can also be stressful and frustrating at times. Whether you are a ceramicist, performer, writer, or a set designer, it pays to think about which ways of working are the best fit for you. Long-time arts advocate and local legend Antony Deaker has some words of wisdom for anyone thinking about how to balance their creative practice with everything else life deals out.
