Our Purpose
A holistic approach to public art and its connection to the people, the place and its relationship to Katikati.
Toi Katikati is more than a mural project. We aim to become a centre for large-scale artworks, sculptures and creative ideas in New Zealand.
Our work brings together murals, artworks, events, programmes and connections to create a meaningful and relevant creative experience for our community.
We celebrate the character of Katikati and its people through a diverse mix of art and creative ideas, helping create a sense of identity, belonging and pride.
Celebrating over 30 years of community creativity.
