The Arts Lottery Aotearoa
If you’re an artist, you know how difficult it can be to pursue your artistic vision. What you need is time, space and money, and too often there just isn’t enough of all three.
That’s why the Cachet Foundation has created the Arts Lottery Aotearoa to help New Zealand artists fulfil their creative dreams. A $10 ticket, or 3 for $20, gives you a chance to win a chunky $1,000 cash prize. Whether you’re a writer, a dancer, a film maker, a visual artist or any other kind, you can spend that thousand dollars on whatever you want. Materials. Research. Paying collaborators. Whatever is going to allow you to realise your vision. Whatever will give you the freedom to create.
Now wouldn’t it be grand to win a grand?
Be in to win a prize of $1,000 CASH in our May/June Lottery. It’s $10 per ticket, or a bonus bundle option of 3 for $20. This lottery is limited to 500 tickets. Winners will be advised by phone or email the first week of July. Lottery profits from the Fund will be administered on a project by project basis. See here for terms and conditions. Lottery operated by Raisely.com.
Art lovers welcome
Not everyone can be an artist. Not everyone wants to be. But everyone loves art, in some form or another. You might be passionate about music, dance, sculpture, photography, gaming or any of the myriad forms art takes.
With a projected fund of $30,000 per year, the Arts Lottery Aotearoa will help Kiwi artists to further their dreams. With contributions from generous art lovers like you, who knows how many more people we can support?
The Cachet Foundation (CC57177) has created the Arts Lottery Aotearoa to help New Zealand artists fulfill their creative dreams through the Cachet Foundation Fund. This works in two ways. First, artists can win a $1,000 cash prize in the bi-monthly Lottery, to go towards making their creative lives easier in any way they choose: to pay rent, buy groceries, afford an accountant or pay tax, for example. Secondly, the Fund will award up to $1,000 grants bi-monthly, to go towards specific stated purposes: booking a studio, hiring a producer, buying art materials, research, travelling to a festival, and so on.
The purpose of the Fund is to provide further support to the creative arts community and help activate their creative endeavours. It will cover a broad range of arts, culture, and heritage projects with a focus on youth.
Our ethos is small is beautiful.
