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 over 20,000 New Zealanders including 10,000 artists, musicians, film makers, designers, writers, & performers.
Join Us
We are constantly engaged in conversation with New Zealand artists who are interested in NZ law changes that affect them. Contact us if you’ve got ideas that you’d like us to add to Our Goals.

- 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.
