Wellington, “Creative Capital” of New Zealand

Wellington’s collaboration with its creative industries justifies the city‘s claim to be New Zealand‘s “Creative Capital”. This collaboration – particularly over the past 20 years – is now paying dividends into the city’s economy and has gained recognition throughout the country. The city and the creative industries have an inclusive relationship with Wellington’s citizens, who frequently buy tickets to festivals, events, exhibitions and shows. They can also attend fringe events that sometimes occur in the streets, restaurants, cafés and Wellington’s waterfront area.
