CREATIVE CAPITAL ARTS TRUST

​Creative Capital Arts Trust (also known as CCAT) is a leading arts organisation established in 2011. Our mission to activate artists, practitioners, partners, and audiences across Pōneke through delivering iconic events such as CubaDupa and New Zealand Fringe Festival. We are professionally managed by a team of extraordinary arts administrators, seasoned festival producers, and emerging talents—led by Chief Executive Kim Bailey.

 

Our programmes include New Zealand's largest open access arts festival New Zealand Fringe Festival, Wellington's iconic free street festival CubaDupa and a wintry classical music crawl Classical on Cuba. Our values are Creativity, Collaboration, Courage, and Belonging. We have our sights set on a future where art and creativity are celebrated and supported. We aim to create opportunities for artists to build sustainable careers, communities to experience communal joy, and where the cultural fabric of our city and country is valued.
