All of us here at the collective would just like to say congratulations and best wishes to the incredible team at The Arts Village who are finalists in the Not for Profit & Social Enterprise category at tomorrow's Rotorua Business Chamber Business Awards!
This category recognizes organizations that deliver meaningful social and community benefits, the people who make that work possible, and the lasting positive impact they have on those they serve.
We know the past six months have brought significant challenges, with uncertainty surrounding the lease and the closure of the café. Through it all, your team has shown remarkable resilience, adaptability, and determination. We are truly in awe of your ability to pivot, continue serving the community, and create so many opportunities for local people to access free arts, cultural, and community events.
Thank you for the countless ways you foster creativity, connection, and wellbeing across Rotorua. Your commitment to making the arts accessible to everyone is inspiring, and this recognition is so well deserved. Whatever the results tomorrow we think you are champions!
Good luck for tomorrow evening. We'll be cheering you on and celebrating the amazing difference you make in our community every day. 🥰🥳
