From Toi Pōneke to Toi Aro — a new chapter for creativity in Te Whanganui-a-Tara.
A 20 year legacy of creativity, reimagined for a new generation.
What’s On
Toi Aro is a creative home for artists and communities in Te Whanganui-a-Tara — a place where ideas are explored, work is shared, and people come together.
Grounded in the stories, people, and whakapapa of this place, Toi Aro supports connection, expression, and opportunity for artists and communities to grow.
A Wellington City Council facility, Toi Aro provides an inclusive space for creativity — where it doesn’t wait, it happens.
What is Toi Aro
Mana whenua narratives are woven throughout Toi Aro, expressed through the artwork, design, and lived experience of the space.
These stories are not separate from the space — they are embedded within it, shaping how it is experienced, understood, and shared.
Their presence remains visible and enduring, grounding all that happens here and connecting the past, present, and future of Te Whanganui-a-Tara.
