We’re creating a hub for diverse creative expression in the heart of Ōtautahi Christchurch.
Te Matatiki Toi Ora The Arts Centre has been rebuilt, strengthened and restored after the devastating earthquakes of 2010-11.
We've managed to complete 20 of the 23 hertiage buildings and we care for these buildings as a place where creative endeavour and entrepreneurship can thrive.
To be a centre of the arts - stimulating and celebrating our diverse communities by restoring memories and creating futures.
To foster, promote, facilitate and encourage the interest of art, culture, education and other related interests, in particular through the provision of accommodation for such activities.
