Discover the vibrant art scene on the Matakana Coast. 

For decades, artists, artisans and art lovers have been drawn to the spectacular landscapes and creative spirit of this place.  From oil paintings to jewellery, ceramics, wood carving and textiles, discover the works of renowned local, national and international artists in boutique art galleries and design stores across the Matakana Coast.

Choose a sculpture for the garden on the Kaipara Coast, or explore the world-class sculpture trails at the Sculptureum and Brick Bay, followed by a crisp glass of rosé or pinot gris pressed from grapes grown on site. 

Browse one-of-a-kind design stores for a special piece to take home, or ‘meet the maker’ at regular open studio events. 

Feeling inspired? Why not pick up some quality art supplies and try your own hand at painting – with a brush in one hand and a glass of local vino in the other. 

Call it the ‘art of living’ on the Matakana Coast.
