What happened
Te Pāti Māori announced the establishment of an independent Toi Māori Authority in Ōtautahi. This authority is designed to support Māori artists contributing to mātauranga Māori. It will operate with resources equal to Creative New Zealand and include a two-year rotational income program for 1,000 artists at a time.

Why it matters
The initiative aims to support the livelihoods of Māori artists and strengthen the transmission of cultural knowledge. The new authority is independent of Creative New Zealand, which is resourced at parity with the new body.
