Director: Janet Lilo After completing a Masters of Visual Arts from AUT in 2006, I quickly learned there wasn’t a single job waiting for me in the real world. However, I was committed to practicing and working in the arts – knowing that I had to find ways of contributing to the sector and to initiate opportunities.
15 years later I am still working on contracts and projects that reflect all the things I that believe in.
Here is the kaupapa I wrote for myself after leaving art school – the words I return to each and every time a new opportunity presents itself: I would like to engage, involve, research and educate diverse communities using visual art and creative processes as a platform for learning and empowerment.

Director: Jody Yawa McMillan has a BFA in photography from Dunedin School of Art.  Based in Edinburgh, she worked forThe Red Door Gallery, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Festival and Kings Theatre and a car delivery service that saw her driving trucks and moterbikes across Scotland. Moving to Auckland, she has found purpose in the arts, community and not for profit sector working with NZ Housing Foundation, Avondale Community Preschool, Kelston Girls’ College and documenting and advising on independent art projects with a range of organisations and people. Te Whau is my home; it is where I live, work, shop, play and am a mother.

All Goods Coordinator: Atarangi Anderson coming across from libraries and with a full kete of community engagement practice, extensive mahi as a multi-displinary artist, and academic aptitude with a near completed Master’s in Creative Practice from Unitec. “I’m looking forward to working with Whau the People at All Goods, continuing to build relationships with the wider arts community within te Whau.
