Tuia te muka tangata 

Weaving together the threads of humanity

Presented by Tairāwhiti Museum and Te Hā 1769 Sestercentennial Trust.

The Tairāwhiti region is rich in histories of collective and deep personal narrative. This year’s Te Hā Art Awards have called for artists expressions exploring the many rich histories that are woven into the fabric and landscape of Te Tairāwhiti.

2018 is the third year of the Te Hā Art award and exhibition. Entry is free and artists are encouraged to explore any avenue of thought which incorporates this year’s theme. There are four awards this year (Open, Youth, Children’s and People’s Choice), sponsored by Pultron Composites and Professor Jack C Richards.

Entries must be received at the museum by Thursday 27th September. The exhibition will be selected from submissions and the awards presented at the exhibition opening on Friday 5 October.

For more information, conditions of entry, and entry forms contact the museum.
