How is Aotearoa New Zealand Festival of the Arts programmed?

Aotearoa New Zealand Festival of the Arts is a curated Festival and artists are programmed by invitation. We are always interested in hearing from artists and organisations, having conversations and exploring how your work aligns with our Festival. Aotearoa New Zealand work is selected and commissioned by the Festival’s Creative Director, Marnie Karmelita and Director Ngā Toi Māori, Mere Boynton.

If you think you or your company have an exciting proposal suitable for the Aotearoa New Zealand Festival of the Arts or the Wellington Jazz Festival, please email nzfestival@festival.co.nz or you can post information or invitations to:
