The Marton Arts & Crafts Centre is a volunteer run non-profit organisation, based in Marton, Rangitīkei. The centre offers space for like minded people to come together and create. We run a regular calendar of tutored classes and social groups. Classes are run by skilled tutors, while social groups encourage creative companionship and the enjoyment of participants' preferred mediums. To add variet

y we run a series of workshops throughout the year

We also hold regular events such as the Makers Market and Christmas Bonanza - these provide opportunities for the public to meet and celebrate our region's creatives. Our members participate in ajoining regional arts activities such as The Whanganui and Manawatu Art Trails, they also enter invitational Regional Shows. Marton Arts & Crafts runs a biennial exhibition which features the work of several guest artists, and highlights the work of our talented members. Recently held in September 2023, such was the success of this fundraising event for the Centre the decision has recently been made to return to annual show. The next centre wide exhibition will open to the public September 12th 2024.
