Te Taumata Toi-a-Iwi is Auckland’s regional arts trust. Through our two wings, Creative Tāmaki Makaurau and Te Manawa, we work across the arts, culture and creative landscape to facilitate conversations, build connections, provide impactful research, support artist development, and advocate for the infrastructure our sector needs to make Tāmaki Makaurau a region alive with creativity.
