Toipoto (which means Closer Together in Te Reo Maori))  is a free mentoring programme for the creative sector in Auckland NZ. Developed from The Big Idea's popular Mentoring in the Arts format, Toipoto has been expertly designed for those starting out or looking to build momentum in their creative journey, who are driven to build a sustainable and rewarding career in the arts.

Today we are thrilled to be speaking with Dina Jezdic, a mentor and director from Toipoto.

Toipoto helps you connect with the people and pulse of the arts sector and gives you the tools and tips you need to thrive. 

It doesn’t matter what your creative background is - visual artist, performance artist, event planner, producer, game developer, musician or the countless other disciplines the arts sector embraces - Toipoto has mentors with real-life knowledge and experience to help make your career sustainable and rewarding.
