Christchurch city has lost much if its older building stock that traditionally provided affordable tenancies for the city's creative community. Exchange Christchurch is a project that sets out to give the city's emerging artists a place to gather, work and exhibit.
The Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA) is the agency established by the Government of New Zealand to lead and coordinate the ongoing recovery effort following the devastating earthquakes of September 2010 and February 2011.
CERA is supporting a range of organisations in making well co-ordinated and timely decisions. It aims to help restore the social, economic, cultural and environmental well-being of greater Christchurch communities.
