Under the Stars 2026 - a matariki exhibition
Step into Under the Stars 2026 — a vibrant, city-wide exhibition honouring Aotearoa’s newest national holiday. This is a call to Rotorua artists—emerging and established—to share works that reflect, remember, and reimagine Matariki.
Across July and August, every gallery at The Arts Village will come alive with a constellation of creativity—stories of renewal, remembrance, and connection shining through each piece.
Join us for a special seasonal celebration on Thursday, 9 July 🌙 5-7pm
✨ Featured exhibitions:
• Ngā Hue o Matariki — Toni-Marie Jennings’ debut solo exhibition at The Wallis
• Works by ākonga from Mokoia Intermediate School in the Cottage Gallery
Come gather, reflect, and celebrate under the stars.
