Art belongs to everyone.

Irene Arts Trust supports artists and opens the arts to the Auckland community, so that more people can create, experience and be moved by art.

About the trust

Irene Arts Trust is a charitable trust registered with the New Zealand Charities Register (CC60950), based on Manukau Road in Auckland.

We believe art enriches lives and strengthens communities. The trust exists to support artists, to bring people closer to the arts, and to create opportunities for creative expression across Tāmaki Makaurau.

Whether you make art, love art or are simply curious, there is a place for you here.
