Give

Join Arts Whakatāne, our non-profit organisation that boosts opportunities for artists and amplifies their impact on our community and New Zealand.

Since 1985, our mahi for the arts has been made possible thanks to a community of generous givers across the country – a growing collective of individuals, whānau and businesses of every age, stage and background.

Our mission?

To collectively fuel a thriving arts community, to make the Eastern Bay of Plenty, and Aotearoa New Zealand a better place. We're 100% run through generous giving and with your support.

Arts Whakatāne promotes, initiates and supports projects and activities that stimulate and strengthen the artistic and cultural life of our community by:

  • Encouraging participation by all sectors of the community in the arts and other cultural and educational activities

  • Promoting the arts and arts activities whether organised by Arts Whakatane or other groups, schools or agencies

  • Facilitating arts activities particularly those that involve a range of arts disciplines and arts groups

  • Advocating for the arts in the community
