Whanake Ringapuoro: Artist Development Sessions

Creative Capital Arts Trust and the CubaDupa team are thrilled to announce a series of six free artist development workshops for Wellington musicians, held weekly from 31 May to 5 July 2022, thanks to the support of the New Zealand Music Commission.
Background
Following the cancellation of CubaDupa 2022 and many other music festivals and events due to Covid-19, this is an opportunity for Wellington-based artists to get the lowdown on getting the gig, funding, management, release, touring, and support for Māori music, ahead of the frenzy of festivals and gigs lining up for 2022 and beyond.

Starting on Tuesday 31 May and continuing weekly from 6:00pm-8:00pm on Tuesday nights until Tuesday 5 July, these sessions will be held at the Exchange Atrium on 21 Allen street in Te Aro, Wellington and will each focus on a different topic detailed below.

This programme has been developed and will be hosted by CubaDupa’s Artists and Programming team Bianca Bailey (Wiri Donna) and Clark Mathews (DARTZ), and CCAT Nga Toi Māori Director Noel Woods (Grove Roots).
