Artist Floor Talks, Saturday July 17, 1:30pm-4:30pm.
Exhibiting artists have acquired their mātauranga Māori knowledge and skills over many years. For many this will be a first, exhibiting in Paraparaumu. We are committed to increasing awareness and the importance of the Wharepora (domain of fine arts and textiles) across communities of Kāpiti, the greater Wellington region, Horowhenua and Manawatū. This includes the annual Te Roopū Raranga Whatu o Aotearoa Conference in Ōtaki over Labour Weekend.

Tiaho Mai is the sixth exhibition inside Kiwibank Paraparaumu as part of Creative Kāpiti Art for Everyone programme, partly funded by Kāpiti Creative Communities Scheme.
‘The Creative Kāpiti philosophy is mā te mahi tahi, ka ora ai te iwi – by working together we move forward,’
— Jenna-Lea Philpott, founder of Creative Kāpiti.
