The Regional Arts Network of Aotearoa  (RANA) is an independent network of regional arts organisations operating across Aotearoa.  

 The regional arts organisations (or RAOs) that make up RANA are non-profit entities that provide strategic direction and support for sustainable arts, culture & heritage development. RANA operates as a connected network to support shared goals.

 RANA seeks to act as a source of information and advice on regional arts issues, and as a communications channel to regional communities of arts practitioners and organisations.

 It also seeks to collaborate on the development of a stronger regional arts, culture, and creative sector to support community wellbeing and resilience.
