For things to do on Waiheke, grab a Waiheke Art Map and explore the work of our local artists – right from their very own studios.
An incorporated not-for-profit society established in 1995, the Gallery is reliant on the generosity of our loyal supporters via donations, patronage, memberships, partnerships and grants. Our focus is to build capability and sustainability in arts and culture on the beautiful island of Waiheke. Across our three exhibition spaces we exhibit the work of more than 100 local artists.
Our permanent collection features work gifted and purchased from prominent Waiheke artists, our Artist in Residence programme, Sculpture on the Gulf and the Kurt von Meier collection.
Our much-loved biennial exhibition is back!

Te Tiriti o Waitangi Exhibition ‘Wai-rua-ono-Rua’ opens this Friday 3 February at 6pm.
The kaupapa (context) for this year’s Waitangi Exhibition is WAI 262 (often known as the ‘flora and fauna and intellectual property’ claim). This claim was first lodged with the Tribunal in 1991, with the Waitangi Tribunal Report being issued in 2011. This is the first ‘all-of-government’ inquiry focusing mainly on the Crown’s existing laws, policies and practices.
