Estuary Arts Centre is a community visual arts centre on Hibiscus Coast Highway in Orewa, with a new exhibition each month. Its classes run from pottery and painting to mosaic, glass and printmaking, for adults and for children and teens. The centre has recently offered an artist talk and Mizuhiki demonstration, with a have-a-go session, at $40 per person as at 2026. It is open Monday to Thursday from 9 am to 4 pm, and it announces its classes, events and workshops through a newsletter on its website.
The centre is run by the Estuary Arts Charitable Trust, which leases its building from Auckland Council. Under that lease it provides exhibitions, classes and activities for young people, Tangata whenua, disabled people, migrant communities and seniors, and more than 70 volunteers help run it. Its stated values are respect and inclusion, and it welcomes people of all ages and abilities. Our pick in Orewa for a family looking for a class and an exhibition under one roof.
