Toi Pōneke facilitates workshops, courses, artist residencies, training seminars, and artist encounters.
We offer mentoring and funding support to creative professionals and artists of all disciplines.
Our programmes utilise individual and group learning, emphasise collaboration and knowledge sharing among participants, and value experimentation, taking risks, and embracing curiosity.

Exhibit your work at Toi Poneke. This proposal round for exhibitions in our 2021 programme closes on Sunday 28 February, 2021 at midnight.
Marcus Jackson will be joined in performance by Elliot Vaughan and Glen Downie to close the exhibition. Drawing on and responding to the narrative of the installation, they will perform superimpositions of a series of works created during the residency period.
