You're invited to the inaugural Tauranga Moana Arts Fono — a gathering for Pacific artists, cultural practitioners, community leaders, and arts organisations to connect, and collaborate on a shared future for Pacific arts in Tauranga Moana.

This is a space created for our Pacific communities — a time to talanoa, to share lived experiences, to explore challenges, and to grow opportunities that strengthen our collective voice in the arts.

The evening includes:

- Talks by local Pacific artists

- Round table open forum discussion

- Future-focused planning sessions

- Shared dinner

- Cultural performance

Bring your family, your thoughts, and your voices. Whether you’re an artist, cultural practitioner, community member or supporter — your presence matters.
