A new plan to get Southlanders more excited about and involved in the arts is about to be unleashed on the region. That's after the Arts Murihiku Charitable Trust succeeded in its application for a grant as part of the Ministry of Culture and Heritage's distribution of money - and it's taken a while to be done - from the government's pandemic related Capability Fund. The $150,000 the Trust's receiving is modest compared to some of the other successful applicants who've reveived more than 600-thousand dollars. Becs Amundsen from the Trust tells Lynn Freeman about the plan to 'up the arts ante' in Southland.
