Galleries and exhibition spaces

We have a number of galleries and spaces around Kāpiti, the star of which is Mahara Gallery. 

Mahara Gallery

As the District's Public Gallery, Mahara Gallery has an annual programme of high-calibre curated exhibitions and provides opportunities for Kāpiti Coast artists to exhibit. The gallery, located in Mahara Place in Waikanae, is operated by the Mahara Gallery Trust and receives funding from the Council, and is currently undergoing a rebuilding programme. Check out our Mahara Gallery upgrade page and the Mahara Gallery website for more information.
