Join acclaimed artist and Arts Makers Aotearoa advocate Judith Darragh for an open conversation on the role artists play in shaping the future of the sector.

Connect with others, understand the shifting landscape and explore how organising together can strengthen the creative ecosystem across Aotearoa.

You’ll leave with a clearer sense of how artists are advocating nationally, what’s changing and how you can be part of shaping what comes next.

Bring your questions, your whakaaro, and your curiosity.
