HELP US KEEP THE VOLUME UP!
The Audio Foundation is Aotearoa’s primary art’s organisation dedicated to presenting and supporting the wide range of practitioners exploring practices relating to music and sound art. As such we are a crucial part of the contemporary ecosystem and the historical preservation of the identity of NZ audio arts culture. Our diverse community includes established and emerging artists and musicians, arts and music educators, students, and people who are passionate about local, contemporary arts, music, dance and film. We specifically support groups who face adversity in presenting their work, including artists working with disability, trans and queer people, and Māori and Pasifika people.
From our home on the edges of Myers Park, Tamaki Makaurau, Audio Foundation produces a vast programme of events, online content and artistic aid. This includes gigs, workshops, exhibitions, festivals, artist talks, radio shows, national and international tours, a Musical Electronics Library, soundwalks, artists residencies, film screenings, international acts, artist advocacy, research support, Soundbleed online writing journal, publications, audiovisual research archives and more. We give local audiences irreplaceable access to so many cutting-edge projects. You can help sustain our organisation through our public support programmes – Audio Foundation Membership, donations and philanphropic/corporate sponsorship opportunities.
We offer a number of membership tiers via our Bandcamp subscription service.
