Grey District Arts Strategy
At the end of 2021 Creative New Zealand offered Councils across New Zealand funding to create an arts strategy for their district. The Grey District Council contracted the West Coast Society of Arts to complete this work. As part of this process, we collected information on how people residing in the Grey District engage with the arts and what might hold them back from being involved in the arts more. We surveyed 151 individuals and interviewed 23 arts-related and community groups in the Grey District.
In our survey we asked how the arts can contribute to the best possible future version of the Grey District. Four themes have been identified running through public feedback and existing plans, and these themes have informed our goals.
This strategy is intended as an evolving document to help challenge and guide community, investors, and Council when making strategic decisions into the next five or so years.
