Central Otago Arts believe that generating, sharing, and experiencing creative work is important. Whether for fun, fuelling wellbeing, social connection, sharing stories, processing emotions, solving problems, self-expression, or relaxation, the arts are essential to our lives. We aim to celebrate, support, and showcase young creative talent in our region while keeping you informed of arts-based opportunities through our youth arts calendar and newsletter.
We’ve highlighted arts competitions, workshops, classes, and resources to nurture and encourage your creative self. We’d love to hear from you if you have ideas for additional content, are keen to help with youth arts, want to share a good news story, have a school project to showcase, or know of other fabulous arts resources to share with our community.
