Norling said that he and co-hosts Amie Taua and Nick Tipa were passionate about the promotion and advancement of local arts and culture.

“The overarching intention is to put a spotlight on all the wonderful arts and culture organisations, practitioners and projects happening in Ōtepoti Dunedin, across all the creative disciplines.”
