Established in 1995 as a not-for-profit society, Waiheke Community Art Gallery - Te Whare Taonga o Waiheke, promotes the visual arts and arts-related activities on our island and to visitors from Aotearoa and across the world.

Open year round the Gallery has a diverse exhibition and public programme with annual visitation of around 60,000.  Our two national award exhibitions (Walker & Hall Waiheke Art Award for 2D work, and the Perpetual Guardian Small Sculpture Prize for 3D small works) attract entries from all over New Zealand.

The Gallery has a shop that features ceramics, jewellery, glass, books, and artworks from across Waiheke and around New Zealand.
