Arts

Northland is a spiritual place that has an intangible connectedness with things of the earth and universe that inspires and enables creativity.

Follow the arts and crafts trail and watch the artists work. Artists abound in every nook and cranny; artists who work and play in every media.

We have galleries and exhibitions across the region, those tucked away up long roads trailing through beautiful remote countryside and forest where you will meet and shake the hand of the artists themselves, to cool, urban galleries in the main centres.

We’re quietly proud of our artists who capture a little, or a lot, of Northland in their creations and take it to the world.

Festivals, events and performances celebrating the arts and artists from all disciplines - Performing, Visual, Literary and of course Toi Maori, happen throughout the year.

For lovers of art and culture Northland is the perfect destination. The Twin Coast Art Trail will guide you around to experience for yourself the depth and breadth of authentic encounters here which enhance the region's extraordinary landscape.
