Recently Waiheke Local Board endorsed a recommendation by Auckland Council to increase funding for the Gallery to $100,000. This is significant raise from previous funding amounts of $12,000 in 2023 and $20,000 in 2024. This change has been a long time coming and I’d like to acknowledge the considerable mahi that has been contributed from past and current Boards and staff, volunteers, patrons, members, and supporters.

Discover the creative heart of Waiheke Island at Open Studios Waiheke 2025, a vibrant event featuring over 30 participating Studios and Galleries all over the island over the long Kings Birthday Weekend.
Tickets include a weekend pass and map to see all the Open Studios and spaces, entry to the Sunday Soiree wine and cheese and silent auction at the Gallery on the Sunday.

Map and pass will be available to collect at the Gallery in the week prior to the long weekend, please keep your receipt as proof of purchase.



Experience art across a range of disciplines including painting, sculpture, ceramics, printmaking, photography, textiles, jewellery and more. There’s something for everyone with opportunities to see artist demonstrations, meet talented creators, and gain insight into their creative process. With exclusive artworks available for purchase this is a must-visit event for creative explorers, art lovers and collectors alike.
