Our July newsletter is now live - filled to the brim with all things creativity, culture and heritage in the Queenstown Lakes District.

This month we shine a light on the districts first Te Muka Toi Te Muka Tākata Creativity and Culture Hui that took place over 4 days in June - where stories were shared, relationships built and bold futures for creativity, culture and heritage for our district were imagined.

See a sample of the striking portraits of our local creatives caught by local photographer Deanna Gerlach - a visual reminder that behind every idea, collaboration, and bold vision, there are people showing up, sharing stories, and shaping what’s next.

• Discover our new website designed to support sustainable careers.

• Hear about upcoming projects, including the Creative Spaces Project - a direct action following the hui.

• Find updates on funding now available or coming soon.

• Stay up to date heritage assets in our district and work underway

• Find out about trustee opportunities

• and more.
