Creative Henderson-Massey is an initiative from the Henderson-Massey Local Board to support and enable community-led art activities, culture and events throughout the Henderson-Massey area. It involves having an Arts Broker, whose role is to identify, curate, programme and enable community activities.
The Arts Broker works with local artists and creative organisations to offer support in the development and delivery of their creative ideas, events and projects, whether this be assisting with funding, marketing, or helping to find the right location or people to work with.
The Creative Henderson-Massey Area
Creative Henderson-Massey shares the same landscape as the Henderson-Massey Local Board area. This is the area located between the foothills of the Waitākere Ranges in the west and the Waitematā Harbour in the east.
This area includes the suburbs of West Harbour, Massey, Ranui, Glendene, Lincoln, Henderson South, Sunnyvale, Te Atatu Peninsula and Te Atatu South.
You can find out here if you live in the Henderson-Massey area.
