Creative New Zealand response to Canterbury earthquake
Media Release
Creative New Zealand expresses its deepest sympathies to the people of Canterbury following yesterday's devastating earthquake.
The immediate priority for all New Zealanders is the search and rescue operation and to support the many people who have suffered great personal tragedy and loss.
Creative New Zealand will be working to support the arts community in Canterbury and hopes to have a clearer picture of the overall impact of the earthquake in the coming weeks and months. We appreciate that this will take time and we will work alongside the community as they assess their losses.
Creative New Zealand's Christchurch office
While Creative New Zealand's Christchurch based staff were not injured during the earthquake our central city office is closed until further notice.
Support for Creative New Zealand clients
Creative New Zealand provided financial support to clients affected by the September 2010 earthquake. We will respond to requests for assistance resulting from this event as we are able to establish how our clients are affected and their needs.
