STAND FOR THE ARTS ✨
A creative culture this good is worth investing in.
The Arts Foundation Te Tumu Toi has long understood that supporting artists means supporting the cultural life of Aotearoa. Powered entirely by generosity, its Icon, Laureate and Springboard Awards put meaningful financial backing behind some of the country’s most exceptional creative talent and giving artists the freedom to keep making the work that moves us, challenges us and makes this place feel distinctly ours.
Its crowdfunding platform, BOOSTED, takes that philosophy into the wider community, creating a culture of giving where everyone has a role to play. Because the future of the arts isn’t built by a handful of benefactors. It’s built collectively.
This year, Sauce joined the Arts Gala for one of the most compelling moments on the calendar: a $285,000 Stand for the Arts fundraising moment, raised in support of artists across Aotearoa.And there’s an elegant way to stay close to it all year round 🤍
Kotahi – The Arts Foundation’s Giving Collective starts from $42 a month, with gatherings across the motu offering an insider’s view of the people, ideas and work shaping our creative landscape.
For the SAUCETTES, this is philanthropy
with considerably more allure than the usual dusty ballroom affair. Think cocktail in hand, impeccable manaaki, brilliant company and intimate access to some of Aotearoa’s most extraordinary creative minds.
Consider it an investment in the culture you want to live in.
