JANUARY 6 - FEBRUARY 9

The Kiwi Art Trail is coming to Whangārei!

Love a sculpture so much you wish you could take it home? Well, you could.

After the Kiwi Art Trail ends in early March 2025, every sculpture will be sold at auction - or sooner!

Find out how you could take a one-of-a-kind sculpture home with you.

Proudly presented by Save the Kiwi and Gallagher Insurance, and hosted by Whangārei District Council.
