Kia ora, ko Jody Yawa McMillan tōku ingoa.

Te Whau is my home and the foundation of my community arts practice. With over 10 years’ experience working across community arts, I support artists, and community groups to develop ideas, build partnerships, access funding and bring projects to life.

As a co-founding member of Whau the People, and now a trustee, I have worked across community arts programming, project development, curating and creative partnerships throughout the Whau and West Auckland. My background as a photographer and arts practitioner also informs my approach to storytelling, and creating opportunities for people to connect through the arts.

As the Arts Broker for the Whau, I enjoy connecting local creatives, communities and organisations, and supporting locally led projects that strengthen connection and creativity across the area.

If you’re a local artist, creative, community group or organisation with an idea you’d like to explore, I’d love to hear from you.
