AFoBA 2027 ARTIST EOI

Call For Black Artists, Makers & Creatives

PRESENTED BY BLACK CREATIVES AOTEAROA IN PARTNERSHIP WITH AUCKLAND LIVE
EOI opens: 29 June 2026 - EOI closes: 31 July 2026

We’re inviting Black artists, makers, performers, writers, musicians, dancers, designers, producers, filmmakers, storytellers and creatives from Aotearoa and across the diaspora to introduce themselves and share what they’re working on.

Whether you have a fully formed project, a work in development, a workshop, exhibition, film, community initiative, creative practice, or simply an idea you’d like to explore, we’d love to hear from you.

This is not a formal funding application. This is us saying, “Kia Ora”, it’s our first hello.

We’re looking to connect with artists, learn more about the work being created across our communities, and explore opportunities through AFoBA 2027, AFoBA Digital, Black Creatives Aotearoa and future programmes.

If you’re a Black creative based in Aotearoa or anywhere across the diaspora, we’d love to hear from you.
