The ARENA Kickstarter project was successfully funded!

A+ is looking for grassroots creative artists to display their work, performances and designs at the ARENA exhibition in Auckland this July.

In addition to showcasing your work to a live audience, you will also be given the opportunity to network with other artists and industry professionals.

ARENA is an event intended to build a stronger creative community and give a leg up to those who want their talent to be noticed.
