It’s a WRAP on Festival 2026.
Ngā mihi nui, Tāmaki Makaurau, for 18 unforgettable days and nights.
The Festival wouldn't be a festival without your support of the artists and communities who make the Aotea Arts Precinct come alive in March. We've loved seeing your excitement in our venues and your joy in and around our new-and-improved Festival Garden in Aotea Square. And it's not quite over yet, with Visual Arts exhibitions continuing around Auckland through April and May.
It is with immense sadness that Te Ahurei Toi o Tāmaki Auckland Arts Festival receives the news of the passing of Carla Van Zon, Artistic Director of the Festival from 2013–2017, fierce supporter of artists from all genres and art forms, and loyal supporter of the world of arts.
Remembering Carla Van Zon
