Māori Arts Internship

We are honoured to have been selected as one of two host organisations for this year's MAI (Māori Arts Internship) Programme by Toi Māori Aotearoa

The internship offers 20-weeks of paid, full-time mahi and the successful applicant will get to work alongside our whole team from programming to technical, marketing to business, and of course alongside artists to help dream and plan (and hopefully deliver) some key events in our programme.

Interns must be of Māori descent, have a tertiary qualification and/or minimum of three years continuous experience working in the arts as an artist, producer, or administrator, and will receive mentoring from our team throughout their internship.

This is an opportunity for folx based in Whakatū, Te Tauihu or further afield. Relocation support can be offered.
