Asian Artists' Fund 2026 — Funding Bee #1

A chance to work on your funding application in-person alongside fellow practitioners with support from our funding advisors.
About this Event

The Asian Artists’ Fund 2026 is a co-investment partnership between Foundation North, Creative New Zealand and Auckland Council.

In 2026, we are introducing Funding Bee, an opportunity to work on your application amongst peers and with support from our funding advisors.

In these in-person sessions, you are invited to join a quiet co-working space where you will work on your application alongside other artists applying for the fund. This is a chance to spend dedicated time on your application with support from our Advisors Jingcheng Zhao and Marc Conaco. You will not be expected to share your work with others.

Sat 5 September
10 am — 1 pm
Ellen Melville Centre

There are two Funding Bee sessions this year; this registration is for the event on Saturday 5 September. You can for the one on Sat 12 September at Studio One Toi Tū.
