Creative Communities Scheme Is Open

Applications for the 2026/27 Creative Communities Scheme (CCS) are now open, offering around $23,000 in funding to support local arts and cultural projects across the Kāpiti Coast. Administered locally, the scheme is funded by Creative New Zealand and supports community participation in a wide range of art forms, including visual arts, music, theatre, dance, literature, Māori and Pacific arts, and multi-disciplinary projects.
