Growing a creative Whau, together.
Whau Community Arts Brokering
Whau Community Arts Brokering is a community service supported by the Whau Local Board. We work with local artists, creatives and communities to develop ideas, support temporary arts projects and bring creativity into our shared spaces.
Our aim is to help local people lead and participate in creative activity, strengthening the cultural and creative life of the Whau.

What do we do?
The broker works with you to support you to bring your creative ideas and fully formed projects to the Whau public.
We start with a conversation about what it is you want to do and from there work out what support you need.
This support can vary from providing advice and assistance with council processes, connecting you with other individuals and groups in the Whau community, assisting with grant applications, or securing funding for your project during our annual funding round or elsewhere.
Getting in contact
You can reach out to Jody Yawa McMillan, your Whau Arts Broker, via email at broker@artswhau.org.nz, or through Facebook and Instagram.
“Community arts create opportunities for people to come together, share ideas and tell their stories. They help us celebrate what makes the Whau unique, connect with one another and shape our communities through creativity.” – Jody
