"So many people tut and say "Someone should do something", but so few step forward and say "...and that someone is me" –Terry Pratchett

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.
