We may be a small creative space, but we make a large impact
Read the Toi Ora Impact Report for the financial year of 2024-25, and find stories like:
- The link between neuroscience and art – earlier this year, Toi Ora also featured in an article in the NZ Listener, which delves into how art is essential for a functioning society
- 2025 highlights – from celebrating Matariki at Lifewise Café, to hands-on screenprinting workshops, to sharing our mahi at Printopia
- And artists’ stories – including Andrew, a resident artist at Toi Ora who is known for a certain style, but now he’s breaking out and trying something new.
A special thank you to all our funders. Thank you for creating a safe and supportive space which allows our artists to make meaningful change through creativity.
