Debbie’s Place* Creative Communities Scheme I will be calling for nominations in Community Link in late August to advertise for one person to replace a retiring member of the Creative Communities Scheme Assessment Committee. I am seeking two Community Representatives. One representative should be familiar with a broad range of local community and arts activities and the other should be familiar with a wide range of music. Creative New Zealand encourages diversity.
