Pohutukawa Coast Arts Hub

Pohutukawa Coast Arts Hub A community of local creatives sharing expertise, growing skills, and coming together.

​Pōhutukawa Coast Arts Hub is a charitable trust dedicated to offering accessible arts and culture programs, classes, and workshops to the Pōhutukawa Coast community. Run by passionate local volunteers with a love for the arts and our coastal paradise, our mission is to bring people together through creativity and learning. We provide opportunities for locals to explore their artistic talents and engage in community education, while also supporting local artists and creatives. We believe that creativity and education are powerful tools for well-being and social connection, helping to build a strong sense of community and belonging. Our goal is to empower creativity, foster artistic expression, and promote mental well-being across all ages. We aim to create a space where residents can connect, grow, and contribute to a vibrant, unified community. Through our dynamic hub, we inspire everyone to express themselves, celebrate local culture, and engage in lifelong learning. Our long-term vision is to establish a dedicated arts and community education center for continued growth and support of local talent.
