The New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts, in collaboration with the New Zealand Parliament, invited entries responding to the theme of Toi i te Waru for exhibition in Te Papakura art gallery. Located within the Executive Wing of Parliament Buildings, the exhibition will run from 20 December 2024 to the end of April 2025.
The name of the exhibition has been gifted by Ngā Ratonga Ao Māori at New Zealand Parliament, and reflects the warmth and joy the summer months bring.
Toi i te Waru literally means “art in the eighth”, being a reference to the eighth month of the Māori year (Huitanguru, usually around February). As this is the hottest time of year, however, i te waru “in the eighth” has become a colloquial saying more or less equivalent to “in the heat of summer”.
Opening Hours
- Daily, 10am - 5pm
Address
- Te Papakura art gallery
- Executive Wing of Parliament Buildings, Cnr Molesworth St & Lambton Quay
