Interview from one of our lovely, talented clients.

The writer and director of one of New Zealand’s most impactful plays reflects on its success and continued relevance ahead of its stage revival.

Very excited announce that our founder Nicola Tanker has been accepted for the Te Taumata Toi-a-Iwi ‘Strengthening Governance in the Creative Sector’ programme taking place in March-May 2026. This will assist in her strategic support for clients and in her ongoing role as Co-Chair at Depot Artspace as the organisation continues to support the future of creatives.
——
Te Taumata Toi-a-Iwi work across the arts, culture and creative landscape to facilitate conversations, build connections, provide impactful research, support artist development, and advocate for the infrastructure our sector needs to make Tāmaki Makaurau a region alive with creativity.

A massive NGĀ MIHI + THANK YOU to all our creative clients and supporters out there, making the world a better place in so many ways!

Sometimes we see cute-Tankery stuff that’s worth sharing (these in the latest Webb's catalogue). Wonder where the road cones are?

Tanker wishes all our friends and whānau Mānawatia Matariki mā Puanga. May this special time of the year be an opportunity for you to reflect, celebrate and prepare, by following the three key principles for Matariki and Puanga:
- Matariki Hunga Nui: Remembrance
Honouring those we have lost since the last rising of Matariki.
- Matariki Ahunga Nui: Celebrating the Present
Gathering together to give thanks for what we have.
- Matariki Manako Nui: Looking to the Future
Looking forward to the promise of a new year.
