A digital gateway to New Zealand arts and culture - NZLive.com
NZLive.com promotes New Zealand culture
NZLive.com – the smart new cultural portal developed in the Ministry for Culture and Heritage as part of New Zealand's Digital Strategy – is a busy digital gateway to the arts, culture and heritage sector.
Whether it’s touring around Janet Frame’s childhood haunts in Oamaru, watching a flax weaving demo in Christchurch, katchafire's concert performance in Auckland, or the New Zealand Women’s Masters at Kerikeri Golf Club – you can check out all these events and more on NZLive.com’s national Events Calendar.
Digital features and tools, such as the ability to add events to your own online calendar, the "tags" that let you follow personal interests – and the links to ticketing agencies – make this the supreme service for New Zealanders and overseas visitors wanting to learn about what to see and do here.
NZLive's events calendar delivers economic benefits to the sector by building local and international audiences at cultural events, as well as encouraging us all to learn more about our cultural identity.
You can search through the Organisations Directory to focus on a specific gallery, museum, theatre or broadcaster.
You’ll also find relevant and inviting Links to cultural information on websites across the cultural sector, including other sites in the Ministry’s stable: Te Ara – The Encyclopedia of New Zealand, NZHistory.net.nz, Anzac.org.nz and the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography.
Amongst other features on the portal, the recently-launched Cultural Funding Guide helps individuals and cultural groups find likely sources of funding. And NZLive.com’s Blog – of interest to anyone involved in the cultural sector, whether for work or play – tackles issues such as building audiences, the latest technology and research.
NZLive.com contributes to the Digital Strategy's goals for developing content by connecting local and international audiences to information about New Zealand’s cultural activities, services and identity.
