About Māngere Arts Centre - Ngā Tohu o Uenuku
Māngere Arts Centre - Ngā Tohu o Uenuku is the home of Māori and Pacific visual and performing arts in Auckland. The centre's annual programme of events and exhibitions showcases the diversity and quality of arts, crafts and cultural activities that underpin the unique character of Māngere and Ōtāhuhu.
The two large galleries host some of the best Pasifika art in the country, while the theatre is a multi-purpose space used for a wide range of performances and events. The galleries host an annual exhibition programme known for its cutting-edge visual exhibitions of regional and national importance. The theatre space is also available with extensive lighting and audio set-up for performances, workshops, rehearsals and events and an enclosed community courtyard.
The community café supports local youth development programmes and is a great place to stop for a coffee and, while you are there, don’t miss trying a famous Lu Sipi pie. It also produces an annual April School Holiday theatre production now in its 5th season, with a sold-out season and touring to Auckland's Q Theatre.
