Tautai Pacific Arts Trust, at 300 Karangahape Road in the Auckland CBD, is a trust that supports and promotes Pacific visual artists. It was formed in the 1980s by the Samoan artist Fatu Feu'u and his peers, when Pacific art was only beginning to be recognised as a genre of its own. The trust became a charitable trust in 1995, and Fatu Feu'u was made a member of the New Zealand Order of Merit in 2001 for his services to the arts.
The trust runs an arts management team and a mentorship programme for artists, and it publishes a newsletter. Its On Our Radar listing shows Pacific contemporary arts events across Tāmaki Makaurau, including events at other galleries and museums, and anyone with an event can send a square image and details to the trust by email to be added.
The trust's website lists exhibitions and talks from 2026, including artist talks and group shows at galleries across the country.
Our pick in the CBD for someone who wants to see contemporary Pacific art and the people who make it.
