City to Sea Bridge
Wellington City Council encourages all Wellingtonians and visitors to access and participate in the arts.
Find out more about what's on, arts programmes, how you can get involved or apply for funding and advice.
Arts & Culture Strategy
The Arts and Culture Strategy aims to:
- build on the city's existing strengths and untapped opportunities to provide a focus for Council investment, asset management and staff
- provide direction so we can work more effectively with others - communities, business, tertiary institutions, and the arts and cultural sector - to address the challenges before us
- reinvigorate Wellington's arts and cultural offerings to residents and visitors.

The Strategy and Policy Committee considered the report on the draft Arts and Culture Strategy on 8 December 2011. Appendix 3 of the report shows the updated draft strategy:
