Whānau Drop-ins at the Gallery - New Activities Added

Come along, have fun and make some art!

Whānau drop-ins are free, family-focused workshops held every weekend (plus weekdays during the school holidays!) from 11 am-3 pm.

Designed for families to get creative together, the workshops offer you the chance to get hands-on with activities inspired to our current exhibition, Toi Tū Toi Ora: Contemporary Māori Art.

Every week is a new activity, so make it part of your weekly routine!

Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki is proud to support Auckland Pride Month this February. Whānau-Drop-in will be themed around the rainbow flag, with activities that celebrate all colours of the rainbow.
