Tender Description

Creative New Zealand - the Arts Council of New Zealand Toi Aotearoa wishes to call for expressions of interest to manage the Māori Arts Internship Programme for the next three years (2020/21 to 2022/23), with provision for a further three-year extension subject to performance and any relevant changes in the vocational education sector.

We wish to purchase services from a suitably experienced Māori-led arts organisation to develop, deliver and evaluate a high quality, Māori Arts Internship Programme for the next three years (2020/21 – 2022/23).

The programme will:

  • support up to five emerging Māori arts practitioners each year
  • have an arts management focus (providing appropriate Māori arts, cultural and technical knowledge, skills and experience) with an emphasis on increasing the number of emerging Māori Producers
  • embed Creative New Zealand’s minimum standards for internships:
  1. paying interns a fair wage of at least $25 per hour to emphasize the value of the intern, improve career sustainability, personal wellbeing and ensure equitable access to these opportunities;
  2. providing appropriate project management and mentoring support for interns;
  3. ensuring participating hosting arts organisations have the capability and capacity to appropriately support an intern and provide meaningful training;
  4. ensuring the establishment and management of clear expectations of all participants (via clear job descriptions and roles and responsibilities, named line-manager, appropriate supervision, mentoring and pastoral care and staff or Board members that can provide cultural support);
  5. ensure internships are inclusive and support diversity across New Zealand’s arts sector.
