The Mahara Gallery Trust

Our Vision is for an iconic cultural destination which is strongly associated with the internationally and nationally significant Field Collection creating a district gallery which celebrates the treasures and assets of Kapiti.

Our purpose is to ensure free access to a wide-ranging high quality programme that provides a regional centre for cultural life in partnership with tangata whenua , providing professional presentation , development and promotion for the arts within an indigenous, local, national and international context for community identity and well-being.
