Opotiki Arts Society Endowment Fund

Building a thriving arts community in the Opotiki District is the key driver behind setting up this fund to ensure a space and a place to nurture artistic talent, to support young up and coming artists in all disciplines to broaden their capability, and to provide scope for art projects in the community to flourish and grow. In 2027 the Opotiki Arts Society will be 50 years old, and the goal is to have a $50,000 fund by the time this milestone is celebrated, to support members and associates to extend their potential and proficiency in their chosen discipline.
