About the Creative Freedom Foundation

Creative Freedom

"the value added in the United States by industries dependent on Fair Use is $2.2 trillion dollars annually, or one sixth of the U.S. economy" –CCIA Study

Through education and advocacy, the Creative Freedom Foundation seeks to encourage, and promote New Zealand artist's views on issues that have the potential to influence their collective creativity.

About the Creative Freedom Foundation

The Creative Freedom Foundation is a charitable organisation that was founded in 2008 by NZ artists and technologists Bronwyn Holloway-Smith and Matthew Holloway in response to changes in New Zealand that threatened to undermine artists and public rights in the name of protecting creativity.

We represent thousands of New Zealand artists including musicians, film makers, visual artists, designers, writers, & performers.

Our primary goals are:

  • The education of New Zealand artists about emerging issues within New Zealand that have the potential to influence their collective creativity
  • Advocacy to ensure that their views are taken into consideration, and
  • The promotion and encouragement of activities that support and build the New Zealand arts community, positive relationships within that community and/or the positive wellbeing of that community.
