He hui mā ngā kaimahi toi. He hui, kanohi ki te kanohi.
Nau mai, Haere mai

We would like to extend an open invitation to all Ngāi Tahu artists and creatives who are interested in connecting with each other. Hui are being hosted across the country between September and October. Nau mai, haere mai. If you can’t get to them, please contact us anyway.
