TUKU: Open Studio Emerging Māori artists 18 May - 28 June 2026

Come down to Puke Ariki and watch fresh treasures being created before your eyes! Over six weeks in May and June, early career artists Dwayne Duthie and Jodie Tipa will be at work adorning manaia (guardian figures), under the direction of senior artist-designer WharehokaSmith.
