He karanga ki ngā Ringatoi!

Opportunities for ringatoi / toai Māori practitioners.

He karanga ki ngā Ringatoi!

Kōpū are calling out to our ringatoi / toi Māori practitioners who want to help lift the presence of toi Māori in our built-environment and public spaces in Whakatū.

There are some exciting opportunities on the horizon - including a waka build for the new playspace and a Pikimai projection for Te Ramaroa.

To share more, there are three Artist Information Sessions on Tuesday 9 September at The Refinery Artspace. 

These hui are a chance to:

  • Hear about the commissioning opportunities coming up through Kōpū
  • Learn how to register as a Kōpū artist (and get help registering on the day)
  • Connect with others who may be interested in collaborating on opportunities
  • Enjoy some kai and a wānanga together on all the exciting possibilities for ngā toi Māori 

We know everyone’s availability is different, so feel free to choose the time that suits you best.

  • Morning Session — 10:00–11:00am
  • Lunchtime Session — 12:00–1:00pm
  • After Work Session — 5:00–6:00pm
