Our story

Ockham Collective is a registered charitable trust, headquartered in central Auckland, Aotearoa. Established as The Ockham Foundation in 2009, its original focus was in support of education. In 2019 this focus was extended to support creativity.

Our purpose is to cultivate and share fresh ideas in education and creativity, contributing to our vision of an Aotearoa that fosters curiosity and connection. We believe humanity is at its best when these traits are developed because curious and connected individuals make positive contributions towards a vibrant collective. We honour and support the individual as part of a whole and our work in creativity and education aims to strengthen the community we live in.

With that in mind we've started an annual residency programme, bringing together a select group of creatives, artists and educators, and providing them with beautiful spaces in which to perform, practice, teach, write and think.
