What we mean by Interarts
Interarts projects integrate artforms of any cultural tradition, combining them to create a new and distinct work. The result of this integration is a hybrid or fusion of artforms outside of Creative New Zealand’s artform categories.
Track record requirements
For an Interarts practitioner, success means having presented at least one work that received a degree of critical, box-office or sales success.
