Capital Connections
Toi Aro's partnerships across Wellington's creative, education, and civic sectors — the networks that make the building stronger.
Connected Across the Capital
Toi Aro is not an island. It sits within a network of organisations — funders, educators, fellow arts organisations, and civic institutions — whose work shapes and is shaped by what happens at 3–6 Market Lane.
These connections are not simply listed partnerships. They are active relationships built on shared kaupapa, genuine collaboration, and a commitment to a Wellington in which creativity is central to civic life.
