What would our nation look like if we were all in for arts?

Join The Arts Foundation Te Tumu Toi and Creative New Zealand for a morning of creativity and connection at a breakfast event as part of All in for Arts: He waka toi e eke noa nei tātou.

This March, the annual free event series returns to communities across New Zealand, to celebrate how creativity shapes and uplifts our lives. These inspiring gatherings bring together trailblazers, thinkers, artists, and advocates to explore the incredible potential of the arts in driving change and growth.

Whether you're a seasoned creative or someone who's feeling disconnected from your artistic side, these free breakfast events are open to everyone. Come and discover fresh ideas, meet like-minded individuals, and be part of a conversation about how creativity can light the way forward. Let’s connect, share, and be inspired together!

Join us All in for Arts 2025

Register for free and join us bright and early for the inspiration and community over breakfast.

Mayor Tory Whanau and guests at All in for Arts in Wellington
“The world right now feels wild and out of control... we have to meet this time with radical imagination and wildness of our own – the campfire wildness of creativity, of actions, visions, stories and experiences that bring us together, that reach across from one consciousness to another, to many.”
Emily Perkins, Author, speaking at All in for Arts 2024
