This distinctive exhibition will feature the works of some of Aotearoa's most relevant, rising and recognized contemporary Artists. An inspiring collective that combined embodies a vibrant, powerful and thought-provoking sense of awe, passion, culture and identity. At the same time offering an insight into what Maori art looks and feels like in the 21st century while capturing an essence of where Aotearoa art is heading in the future.

For the first time ‘The Kete Aronui Experience’ will feature a must see collaboration between stencil artist FLOX and artist Tipene Ryan Smith as they merge their creative talents together to create the beautiful waharoa for both the entry and exit of the space. During the three-day event Mouth Painter and complete C4 tetraplegic Wayne Te Rangi will carry out a live demonstration that will no doubt inspire our audience, and at the end of the three days we will auction his work off and the proceeds will go to the MFPA (Mouth and Foot Painting Association).
