Exhibitions & Events

The exhibition and public event programme at Mairangi Arts Centre strives to expand our contribution to the arts in Aotearoa. The programme consists of a combination of MAC-curated exhibitions, exhibitions by the public and wider community, and exhibitions of our local MAC community. Members and students have the opportunity to exhibit in the annual MAC Members exhibition and the MAC Showcase exhibition for students and tutors. MAC members also have the opportunity to exhibit independently on our MAC Artspace walls.

There are various opportunities for the general public to submit their work in entry-by-fee exhibitions and notification of these exhibitions are communicated via our website, social media pages, and e-newsletter. We also accept proposals year-round from individuals and other community organisations who wish to exhibit and/or host an event at Mairangi Arts Centre. Preference and priority are given to exhibitions and events that embody our strategic priorities of celebrating diversity, strengthening community relationships, advancing artistic discourse, and supporting emerging artists.
