Latest newsletter is out now: May 2025

Our May newsletter is brimming with creative energy from across the Queenstown Lakes District. We’re proud to launch Te Muka Toi, Te Muka Tākata — a regional Creativity, Culture and Heritage Hui coming to Queenstown and Wānaka this June, with hands-on workshops, panel talks, and Open Studios. You'll also find opportunities to get involved in our Funding Series, updates on heritage initiatives, and fresh data highlighting the $17.5 billion contribution of the arts to Aotearoa’s economy.

Plus, we shine a light on Queenstown Design Month, NZ Music Month, and new funding pathways for creatives. Whether you're a maker, performer, organiser or supporter — there’s plenty here to grow, connect, and celebrate our diverse creative communities.
