The Awhi Incubator
Large Scale Capacity Building Project in Te Tai Tokerau

The Awhi Incubator Project provides free coaching, mentoring and training for selected local digital artists. The aim is to raise the profile of the innovative local arts scene and connect to national and international networks. Open to anyone living or working in the region, the online expression of interest for the Awhi Incubator runs from 6 – 24 April.


Showcasing and Supporting
Maggie says, “Cool things are happening in our region – we want to showcase that! So we’re looking to support people who work across different disciplines, are experimental or have a wide range of interests and skills. Often they have more complex needs and find it less easy to fit into a funding box. That means young, emerging professionals and those who are more experienced.”
Supporters and Partners
The Ministry of Culture and Heritage’s Innovation Fund provided the resources for the project. In addition, several groups are officially partnering with AwhiWorld to support the Awhi Incubator, including local arts organisation Creative Northland and national organisations Circuit and Aotearoa Digital Arts (ADA). An international group, SEADS is also partnering on the initiative and is currently working with AwhiWorld on a project to be unveiled in May.

A SPECIAL THANKS
We would like to take this opportunity to extend our gratitude to the Ministry for Culture and Heritage for their support in helping us bring our vision to life.
Our partnered organisations have been invaluable assets to our team, and we are incredibly grateful for their commitment to our mission. We could not have accomplished what we have without their help and support, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration for many years to come.
We also want to extend a special thank you to our wider Northland community. Your support, enthusiasm, and willingness have been a source of inspiration for us.
