Come along, have fun and make some art!

Held every weekend (and weekdays during the school holidays), Whānau drop-ins are free, family-focused, art-making workshops 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!
