Te Pāti Māori wants to introduce a 'culture pass'- giving young people money to spend on the arts sector.
The idea stems from overseas, where people who turn 18 get 200 Euros to spend on museums, theatre or concerts.
Point Chev Social Enterprise Trust spokesperson Chris Casey says it could start off with $200 a year.
"It's not a novel idea overseas, it's been going for years and years. It's a wonderful expression of visibility of youth, and saying to a young person- we see you."
