Kua ea 😮‍💨

Aronui Indigenous Arts Festival 2025 officially wrapped on Sunday, and we want to send a massive mihi to our artists and to everyone who came along, supported and enjoyed this year’s boutique offering 💛

Ngā mihi nunui to our funders who made it possible – Lottery Grants Board, @rotoruanz, @rotoruatrust, Blue Skies Charitable Trust, @poutamatrust, @nzcommunitytrust, @onefoundationnz and Pub Charities 🙌

E mihi kau ana ki a koutou.

It’s been a huge year for Aronui, from the Drone Show and 1814 concert to the festival itself, and being honoured with the Arts, Cultural or Heritage Event of the Year Award at the New Zealand Event Awards 2025.

None of it would have been possible without your aroha and support.

Check out these mīharo images from Atua Wahine captured by our friends at @aio.media.nz 📸
