Megan Symons

The arts have been a constant source of joy, stimulation and nourishment throughout my life. I studied Art History, completing my degree at Canterbury University, Christchurch.

For the past decade I have also been involved in the planning, organisation and staging of the Taranaki National Art Awards, held annually in Ōpunakē. and became chairperson of the committee four years ago.

I am enjoying being part of the awesome Creative Taranaki team! Continuing to create connections, build and maintain strong relationships and discovering the breadth and depth of our creative community network. Front of mind is the provision of opportunities for individuals and organisations to share their voice and vision around what is needed to grow capability, capacity and connectivity and provide support and resources to enable the creative economy to prosper and thrive.
