Waiheke Art Gallery - Te Whare Taonga o Waiheke

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.

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