Te Ara Korowai

^{Creative Wellbeing Centre}

OUR VISION

“A thriving, connected community where everyone—regardless of circumstance—has the opportunity, confidence, and support to engage in the arts, develop their creative potential, and contribute to a vibrant, high-quality cultural landscape.”

OUR MISSION

“To create an inclusive community art centre that removes barriers to participation, nurtures creative expression, and empowers people of all backgrounds to develop meaningful artistic skills while producing work of genuine quality and cultural value..”

Te Ara Korowai is a creative wellbeing centre based in Raumati Beach.
We exist to provide a place of belonging — where people can come together and explore creativity.

Through our art and creativity classes, we encourage participation, connection, learning and self-expression. We know the arts can be a powerful pathway to resilience and healing, and we are committed to ensuring no one feels alone on their journey.

As a not-for-profit organisation, we rely on the generosity of grants and donations to keep our doors open. Every contribution helps us continue offering safe spaces and outreach programmes for those in our community who need them most.

Nau mai, haere mai — all are welcome here
