Kia ora Nic

 

I refer to your official information request, dated 10 December 2021,
related to remuneration for artists and arts organisations. We’ve
considered your request under the provisions of the Official Information
Act 1982 (‘the Act’), which is based on the concept that information held
by government agencies should be made available on request unless there is
good reason for withholding it.

 

Over 2021 Creative New Zealand has consulted on draft policy principles to
underpin a Remuneration Policy for Artists and Arts Practitioners ([1]A
remuneration policy for artists and arts practitioners Ko te Mahere Utu mô
Ngâ Kaitoi, Kaiwaihanga Toi, July 2021).

 

Creative New Zealand expects to release the resulting policy in early
2022. Over 2022, Creative New Zealand will consider how the policy will be
implemented across the eight investment categories representing our major
programmes. This includes the Toi Tôtara Haemata and Toi Uru Kahikatea
Investment programmes.

 

We indicated in the document that we will consider the implications of the
policy on a programme-by-programme basis recognising the different nature
of the programmes we operate and the differing relationships we have with
funded individuals, collectives and organisations.

 

Creative New Zealand does not currently have specific policies on what
organisations funded through the Investment programmes should pay artists,
practitioners or their staff more broadly. As a result of the new
Remuneration Policy, we may set new expectations for the organisations we
fund on a multi-year basis.

 

Ngâ mihi nui, nâ
