One of New Zealand's largest performing arts events has been forced to scale back. Polyfest organisers say they were promised a boost in funding from Pacific Peoples Minister Shane Reti, and given assurances the money would come through from Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters. When the time came, the boost was just $5000 – which Polyfest Trust Chair Steven Hargreaves tells Tim Beveridge is not an influential amount for an event that costs $2 million to put on. “It's an investment in the youth. The Government have talked a lot this year about school attendance, school engagement, achievement, literacy and numeracy. Polyfest can deliver on all of those fronts.” Last year's event drew 80,000 visitors with 8000 students performing. This year's event will see a stage dropped to scale back on cost. The Ministry says "The Ministry remains committed to supporting Polyfest alongside other government agencies and encourages other sponsors to get behind this important event for the Pacific community in Auckland."

In early November, the Style and Spirit Exhibition was opened at the David Roche Gallery to explore the life and design ethos of an important but forgotten style icon while highlighting how HIV stigma contributed to his erasure. Chester Weinberg was the first fashion designer to die of AIDS related illness in 1985. Despite his importance and the prominence of his work, HIV stigma saw Chester literally written out of history books. In this episode of WWW, we'll head to the exhibition's opening and hear from co-curators Skye Bartlett and Timothy Roberts. We'll also hear from Ian Hunter MLC, who helped found the South Australian AIDS Action Committee in the mid 1980s. Ann Maccarrone, Community Engagement and Partnerships Manager at ViiV Healthcare was there and speaks with Jack about the evening. We also hear from community groups at Picnic in the Park, which is part of Feast Festival, Adelaide's LGBTIQA+ Arts and Cultural Festival.

Ann Rohmer has the details.

In season two of the "Finding Home" podcast series, Irish American Archives Society Executive Director Margaret Lynch interviews an array of Clevelanders with specialized knowledge and stories about the history of the Irish in Cleveland. This episode features an interview with Marianne Mangan. As a child, Marianne Mangan could not have known that the gift of a "Brownie Instamatic" camera would lead to a lifelong pursuit of photography. When she took photos for her high school yearbook or captured school sporting events while working as a gym teacher, photography was a sideline. But the sideline became a profession as she was called on more and more to take photographs at events in the Irish American community. For the Irish American Archives Society, she has documented Walks of Life dinners, the Johnny Kilbane Sculpture process, and parade honorees and committee members. She started photographing musicians at Cleveland's annual Cultural Festival and now travels widely to create photographic portraits of some of the biggest names in traditional Irish music.

What's trending in Peoria Unified? Arts Education! Every spring, we honor the thousands of young artists throughout the Peoria Unified School District at our Annual Art's & Cultural Festival in Old Town Peoria, Ariz. Like most events this year, COVID-19 changed the way we celebrate these students, but it did not impact how important this event is or take away from the importance of arts programming in our community. Through the years and many rounds of budget cuts, Peoria Unified has continued to take pride in and prioritize the importance of educating the whole child through the arts. In this episode we are joined by Director of Arts Education, Mr. Robert Panzer, and Rachel Scherrer from Country Meadows and Sun Valley as we discuss the impact arts make in a student's life.
