This is a shared arts column put together by Howick Historical Village, Te Tuhi, and Uxbridge Arts and Culture.
Te Tuhi is celebrating a major milestone in 2025 – 50 years of platforming contemporary art and artists and delivering arts and culture for the east Auckland community!
Founded as the Pakuranga Arts Society in 1975 by visionaries including Iris Fisher and Nanette Cameron, Te Tuhi has grown into a cornerstone of Aotearoa New Zealand’s art scene, committed to presenting locally engaged, regionally responsive, and internationally ambitious contemporary art.
This year, we invite our community to join us in marking this momentous occasion with a range of exciting exhibitions, events, book launches, special projects, and parties.
As well as events to open our regular four exhibition seasons, with the first on Saturday, February 8, we’ll be launching an archive exhibition on Sunday, April 6.
To celebrate our 50 years of activity, we’ll also be publishing an Exhibition History book and A History of the Pakuranga Arts Society, which will be launched at events during the year, and we’ll be hosting a big Golden Anniversary party in August.
While the Eastern Busway construction may be affecting Pakuranga’s roads, Te Tuhi continues to thrive.
We’re still delivering our diverse cultural programme, which includes public events, community projects, and educational opportunities.
Enrolments for our 2025 contemporary art, art history and interior design classes are now open, offering something for everyone with no previous experience required.
We also have rooms available for hire which are perfect for meetings, workshops, classes, or events of any kind.
Finally, we’d like to thank the east Auckland community for your continued involvement with Te Tuhi.
Your participation plays a crucial role in helping us keep arts and culture alive and accessible to all.
- Stay connected and follow our updates via our website (tetuhi.art), social media channels (@tetuhiart), and newsletter. We look forward to seeing you at Te Tuhi this year!
