Tai o Hī Tai o Hā is our 18-month creative development programme for emerging Ngāpuhi creatives. Our kāinga are full of emerging ringatoi bursting with creativity. This programme brings together taiohi to grow their creative practice, build lasting connections and deepen their understanding of Ngāpuhinui-tonu through wānanga, mentorship, and community-based learning. 

It is more than an arts programme; Tai o Hī Tai o Hā is about developing the next generation of Ngāpuhi creative leaders. Taiohi learn alongside experienced ringatoi and cultural practitioners. The programme also includes a public exhibition and a community-led creative project.
