Toi Aro is a Wellington City Council arts centre at 3 Market Lane, Te Aro, Wellington, and it was formerly called Toi Pōneke. The site describes it as a creative home for artists and communities, with its artwork, design and spaces shaped by mana whenua narratives. The site says the centre is inclusive and physically accessible, with wheelchair-accessible entry, lift access across all levels, accessible bathrooms and mobility parking. Visitors who have specific access needs are asked to contact the centre before a visit.
The centre holds exhibitions at Te Ara Toi Gallery, and its first exhibition of 2026 features mana whenua art, taonga and stories from a range of artists. It also runs workshops, including a Tukutuku basics session and a watercolour greeting card class. Spaces can be hired for performances, exhibitions, functions, wānanga and community events. There are three dance studios with timber floors and mirrors, along with flexible studios for drama and classes. The site also offers mentoring and funding opportunities for artists.
