Community | Corban Estate Arts Centre

We have more than twenty artists working on site, and there are also a number of performing arts, visual arts and youth organisations based at Corban Estate. Alongside exhibition and education programmes, these resident artists and organisations make Corban Estate Arts Centre a unique creative hub.

Meet the Artists

Upcoming Event

Pekapeka-tou-roa Life, Flight & Plight

Fri 1 November - Sun 10 November

An exhibition by a group of artists who are all concerned about raising awareness of and protecting our endangered long-tail bat. Colonies of this tiny native species live in the Waitakeres and around Henderson.

There are a number of groups that are part of the extended family at Corban Estate.

Waitakere Printers Ink

This group meets on the third Saturday of each month to use the large etching press, share ideas and knowledge and to connect with other like-minded creatives with an interest in printmaking. $12 per person, per session.

Taniwha Tales

Taniwha Tales are a group of artists from West Auckland’s homeless and marginalised community. Based at Corban Estate for a large part of 2016, the group are now supported by Te Whānau O Waipareira, and regularly mount exhibitions at Corban Estate.
