A Business Case for Investment in Regional Arts, Culture and Creative Sector Development was produced in 2023 by the Regional Arts Network Aotearoa (RANA). Te Taumata supported the development of this business case which outlines the potential role of Regional Arts Organisations (RAOs) and advocates for sustained national investment in the establishment and ongoing funding of RAOs.

Turning up the volume and sharing ideas on ways that we could create a more supportive sector environment

In 2021, Te Taumata Toi-a-Iwi drew together individuals and organisations to design and deliver a range of capability initiatives. The aim was to develop a collective impact model to build creative sector capability in Auckland and form a community of practice to support ongoing capability development in the region.
