Māngere Arts Centre - Ngā Tohu o Uenuku
Call for Proposals 2022
Auckland Council recognises te Tiriti o Waitangi/the Treaty of Waitangi as a foundational
document on which local government in Auckland works to deliver Māori aspirations.
We recognise that Auckland’s Māori identity is its unique point of difference in the world
and celebrate Māori culture and te reo Māori. We seek to build on this identity in our Arts
Facilities.
Māngere Arts Centre – Ngā Tohu o Uenuku is the home of Māori and Pacific visual and
performing arts in Tāmaki Makaurau. The year-round gallery programme reflects the
diversity of arts, crafts, and cultural activities within the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu local board
community. The centre’s primary purpose is to engage and inspire communities with Māori
and Pacific arts and culture.
We are calling for creative projects from groups, collectives or individuals interested in
exhibiting and/or creating unique projects, programmes, or events at the Arts Centre to be
held during the first half of the year 2022 (1 January – 30 June).
