The road for national cultural service organisations doesn’t always run smooth.
There was the closure of Artists Alliance in 2018 and, that same year, a call by members for contemporary Pacific art trust Tautai to be restructured and its board to stand down – the organisation did exactly that.
In both cases, members or funders signalled they had significant concerns about management or governance.
