    • Visual Artist in Residence 2025 – Call for Applications
      • Toi Pōneke is calling for proposals from Wellington-based artists for our 2025 Visual Arts Residency. The aim of this residency is to support a Wellington-based visual artist or small group of Wellington-based visual artists to develop their individual or collective practice and provide them with resources to dedicate themselves full time to their practice for a period of 12 weeks.

    • A Guest among the Guests:
      • Join us for this talk facilitated by K Monaghan, Assoc. Prof. Dr Julie Deslippe - from Victoria University School of Biological Sciences and Dr Eli Elinoff - from Victoria University School of Social and Cultural Studies. This discussion will touch on interesting studies around human and non human life patterns, interspecies connections, living with plant and fungi rather than alongside.

    • GUEST
      • Sonic artist Kieran Monaghan presents GUEST, an interdisciplinary exhibition of sound, image and organic matter, which offers up a sonic practice for the Anthropocene. This body of work explores a practice that places the ‘human’ not at the centre, but as an ongoing active collaborator. Working as a member of the non-human/tech/human trio, vegetable.machine.animal, Monaghan makes space where the voice of the ‘Other’ is amplified and essential to the voice of the ‘Whole’.

    • The Female Gaze and How It Shapes Our World
      • This panel gathers a remarkable group of artists, and academics. Rooted in creative practice, scholarship, and lived experience, each speaker brings a perspective that challenges dominant narratives and illuminates alternative ways of seeing, knowing, and belonging. Together, they explore how voice, vision, and artistic expression become powerful tools for personal and collective change.

    • The Female Gaze and How It Shapes Our World
      • This May, Toi Pōneke Gallery presents a compelling mother-son exhibition that reclaims vision and voice through the powerful mediums of painting and photography. Featuring the evocative work of Ashraf Pirnia and Pedram Pirnia, this showcase dives into deep introspection and feminist resistance, amplifying silenced voices and uncovering layers of identity, truth, and transformation.

    • Wāhine Wānanga
      • Toi Pōneke presents the first in our series of Wāhine Wānanga. Join us for a kai and korero in a wāhine focussed space, with a presentation by wāhine toa Tu Chapman. Tu is an advocate for change, a proven thought leader on issues relating to applied indigenous approaches in Te Āo Māori, Tikanga Māori, Social Justice and Wellbeing & Development.

    • Learn Te Reo Māori - basic level 2 - 4
      • This new programme follows on from our Emergent – Beginner Level so that those who completed this course can continue their learning. It is also open for new people to join if they already have some beginner level te reo.

    • 2025 Write Room Screenwriter Announcement
      • Toi Pōneke Arts Centre and Pop Film are delighted to announce Wellington writer Esteban Jaramillo who has been selected as the 2025 Write Room Screenwriter in Residence with his project Vicio.

    • Protest Stitching Workshop
      • Come and learn a technique for hand stitching onto wool or linen to express your protest thoughts. Katherine and Philippa will show you how to embroider with embroidery threads to get your ideas across. Techniques for marking designs, sewing and washing will be taught. You will come away with a new technique, new ideas and hopefully inspiration!

    • Creating Connections Artists' Talk
      • Meet ‘Les Grandes Dames’ - the artists of Creating Connections – Anna Prussing, Catherine Croucher, Gael O‘Donnell, Jill Bowman, Katherine Morrison, Marilyn Daly and Philippa Doyle. Les Grandes Dames will be facilitating a tour of the Creating Connections exhibition. They will discuss their own work and describe some of the techniques they used to make these textiles.

    • Creating Connections
      • We are eight artists with varied creative practices who came together because of our shared interest in textiles. We all wanted to develop as artists, and honest but encouraging critique from other group members has allowed us all to progress our work in varied ways.

    • Toi Market Day

    • Human. Nature.
      • Toi Pōneke Gallery is proud to present Human. Nature., an immersive debut exhibition by sisters Hannah Schickedanz and poet Jessica Arcus. This deeply personal collaboration combines painting, sculpture, and poetry to create a soothing balm for the overstimulation of modern life.

    • Foraged Fibres: Basket weaving workshop
      • Hannah Schickedanz uses diverse natural fibres in her sculptural work, which then provide reference material for her paintings. Join her to learn the art of twined and woven basket-making, using grasses, harakeke and other foraged materials. You'll take home a small basket and a useful skill, enabling you to create baskets from any number of fibres found in nature.

    • Bent
      • A team of local creatives from Wellington's zine scene have created illustrated portraits, historical protest art, photography, fanart and writing for BENT - a new collaborative zine series looking at our city’s subcultural and queer communities.
