The Arts Alive Auckland City Council performing arts funding programme is taking proposals from individuals, organisations, venues or businesses that are seeking funding for their projects in Auckland City. The objectives of the fund are to build audiences for the performing arts and to develop and maintain Auckland's performing arts infrastructure including resources, skills, information, professional support and networks. The projects may be a production season, a performance series, a one-night show or concert, or festival work of music, dance or theatre, or a combination of these artforms and they must be presented in Auckland between November 2010 and December 2011. Applications are due by 4:30pm on Friday 20th August and the results will be announced in late October. For more information, please visit the Arts Alive website.
