Arts

The region is home to a diverse, quality arts sector. From an expansive collection of community arts organisations to internationally recognised artists, the choice is extensive and varied. A geographical spread of arts and artists over the entire region hosts a remarkable array of arts activities.

Follow the arts and crafts trail and watch the artists work.

Northland is developing its own unique arts identity, reflective of the cultures which have contributed to the region. We are fortunate to have strengths in all the arts disciplines; Performing, Visual, Literary and of course Toi Maori.

The contemporary arts scene is continuously developing and evolving, while traditional arts are maintained and supported by the community.

Festivals, events and performances endorsing the arts happen throughout the year, offering an opportunity to enjoy the best of our actors, dancers, musicians and visual artists.

Northland is a destination for the interactive traveller. The depth and breadth of authentic arts and culture on offer enhances the region's outdoor activities and extraordinary landscape.
