Arts Promotion Trust's new website is powered by The Big Idea – New Zealand's creative sector cyber hub.

Arts Promotion Trust's new website is powered by The Big Idea – New Zealand's creative sector cyber hub.

This means that not only does our region boast a state of the art website – it is also connected and visible to national and international browsers. The new site features Northland creative events, news, jobs & opportunities and development resources. It also boasts a gallery of Northland artists' latest work and links to community members and organisations. Check it out! 

The most exciting aspect of this new site is that it is interactive and dynamic, allowing individuals to create their own profile, post their events, news, work and videos – don't forget to add the “Northland” tag so that your posts can appear alongside all the other Northland content and be linked up to this newsletter.

APT wishes to thank Pub Charities for their generous computer grant which has enabled us to install our new database system. Also, deep thanks go to Kristy Hughes from E-Literate for her precious sponsorship of the What's On newsletter these last few years.
