Nga Puna Waihanga
Nga Puna Waihanga, formerly the Maori Artists and Writers Society, was formed in 1973 as a fellowship of Maori artists.
It exists to keep in touch artists, craftspeople and other interested people who love contemporary Maori art. This is defined as covering visual, language and performing arts in both traditional and modern forms.
The kaupapa of Nga Puna Waihanga is unity in the arts and boasts membership of kaumatua, weavers, painters, carvers, sculptors, poets, authors, craftspeople, performing artists, musicians, singers, actors, students, groups and arts administrators.
The secretary is Averil Herbert and she is based in Rotorua. Nga Puna Waihanga meets each Queen’s Birthday Weekend at different marae and is involved in developing Maori art from kohanga reo to tertiary institutions. Further information can be gained by writing to The Secretary, PO Box 1512, Rotorua.
