A new creative partnership for the arts

The Arts Foundation of New Zealand Trustees are pleased to announce their partnership with the Auckland studio of Strategy Design & Advertising.

With a shared admiration for people whose talent and artistic innovation enrich the lives of New Zealand, the Arts Foundation would like to announce a creative partnership with Auckland’s Strategy Design and Advertising.

Established in 2001, the Arts Foundation is a private trust, specialising in philanthropic giving to the arts and by the end of this year the Foundation will have donated almost $4million to the arts and celebrated 141 artists.

Specialists in design-led communications, Strategy are respected leaders in their field and bring a wealth of creative and strategic knowledge to the Foundation.

Arts Foundations Chair, Fran Ricketts commented on the relationship; “We are proud to be in partnership with this world-class award winning agency and through their generous assistance we look forward to bringing a fresh new level of design led communications into the Arts Foundation”  

The first creative branding from Strategy will be seen at this year’s Macquarie Private Wealth New Zealand Arts Awards. Held on 2 October in Auckland , The Arts Awards will also be a platform to announce the identity for ‘Boosted’, the only genuinely philanthropic crowdfunding site for the arts in New Zealand.  

Martin O’Sullivan, Managing Partner of Strategy in Auckland stated ‘We recognise the value of the Foundations role in supporting the arts in New Zealand and are honoured by the opportunity to offer our assistance and help build the arts community by engaging supporters in a new way”.

It’s an exciting period ahead for Arts Foundation, with the Macquarie Private Wealth New Zealand Arts Awards and launch of Boosted.   Over the next few months the New Zealand public can anticipate seeing plenty of this new creative partnership in action.
