We are a community hub for artists and arts-related events and are proud of our role advocating and promoting the arts.

Make a weekend of it in Hawke’s Bay this November.

For two weekends, artists across the region will open the doors to their studios and creative spaces for the Hawke’s Bay Arts Trail.

Follow the Trail through towns and countryside, meet the people behind the work, see how it’s made, and discover a side of Hawke’s Bay you might not have experienced before.

7–8 + 14–15 November 2026
Free, self-guided and yours to explore at your own pace.

Start planning your weekend and explore the 2026–2027 Hawke’s Bay Arts Trail Guidebook online - https://www.artsinc.co.nz/projects-and-street-art/arts-trail
