Nestled between world-famous vineyards, olive groves, stunning beaches you will find the Waiheke Community Art Gallery ~Te Whare Taonga o Waiheke. We promote visual arts to an international standard and provide a focal point for arts-related activities. Our diverse range of exhibitions inspires and delights, bringing the best of New Zealand art to the Island and offering the best of Waiheke art to the world. Our wonderful gallery shop features high quality New Zealand ceramics, glass, jewellery and art forms. The Gallery’s two national award exhibitions attract entries from all over New Zealand. These are the Walker & Hall Waiheke Art Award (for 2D work) and the Small Sculpture Prize. The Waiheke Community Art Gallery is an incorporated not-for-profit society, established in 1995. As we are a registered charity, all donations to us are tax deductible. We are open 363 days a year (even at Alert levels, visit the gallery online!) and have three new exhibitions opening every four weeks.
