Hawke's Bay Arts Festival

Showcasing work across a range of disciplines, this is a Festival that encourages range, versatility, and a space for reflection.

The Festival is an important space for artists and audiences to come together, engage and create unique cultural experiences. The power of being able to see the world through the lens of art, as a community, cannot be underestimated.
