Tāmaki artist Wiremu Cowell’s first solo exhibition titled ‘Poipoia te Kākano Kia Puāwai / Nurture the seed and it will blossom’ follows his journey and the growth of his artistic practfice since displaying art publicly for the first time in August 2023. Guided by the whakataukī: Poipoia te kākano kia puāwai, Wiremu reflects on how nurturing his skills and techniques, along with his dedication to art, has played a significant role in his hauora (well-being).
Using fine lines and intricate details, Wiremu’s work explores themes of whakapapa, Māori pūrākau (stories), cultural values, and indigenous identity.

We provide opportunities for artists of all ages and experience to present their art publicly, and engage our local community in Tāmaki with meaningful arts experiences.
We believe the arts should be freely and easily accessible to everyone, and seek to remove barriers that may prevent access to and participation in the arts.
