SUPPORT, CONNECT, DONATE. Join Whirinaki Whare Taonga to help provide access to art, culture and events to all!

We are committed to keeping our exhibitions free and you support helps us do that.  Your support is crucial in ensuiring we can continue to present the unique role of art and artist, as well as sharing the best-loved and boldest exhibitions and shows with our community.

We believe that access to art and culture is important to everyone's wellbeing, so we want to make sure that everyone is able to enjoy the benefits.

We know that not everyone has the same access to art, and we make sure our exhibitions and many of our events are accessible.

Each year we welcome and give the benefit of art and culture to over 150,000 visitors.

You can support the work we do in a number of ways, you can make a donation, become a Friend, join our volunteer programme or provide sponsorship.
