Awards 2021 recognise Arts in Corrections leaders

29 March 2021
Nominations to this year’s Te Putanga Toi Arts Access Awards, presented annually by Arts Access Aotearoa, have closed. The judging process is now under way.

Te Putanga Toi Arts Access Awards celebrate the contribution of individuals, groups and organisations in providing access to and inclusion in the arts. They also acknowledge the achievements and contribution of a New Zealand-based artist or writer with a physical, sensory or intellectual impairment, or lived experience of mental distress.

There are two Arts in Corrections awards: one recognises Arts in Corrections leaders who exemplify the qualities of Māui and the second recognises the use of tikanga and the arts to encourage a strong cultural identity and pro-social living.
