ANZAAE 2025 Conference

Monday 14  - Wednesday 16 April 2025

Wintec | Te Pūkenga - City Campus | Kirikiriroa, Hamilton

UNLEASH CREATIVITY AT EVERY TURN
He piko, he toi ataata
He piko, he toi ataata
He piko, he toi ataata

Our whakatauki, He piko, he toi ataata is loosely translated to unleash creativity at every turn and is inspired by the well-known Waikato-Tainui whakatauki He piko, he taniwha (at every turn there is a taniwha/leader) which traces the journey of the Waikato river across the motu. As kaiako we build this understanding within our ākonga, leading them to understand art making as an integrated part of their lives. This idea is represented in Kirikiriroa as our streets and community spaces are filled with the rich visual delights of art everywhere. From the likes of the ‘BOON’ Street Art festival, Mesh Sculpture Trust artworks, as well as the whakairo and toi of Te Kōpū Mānia o Kirikiriroa Marae.


ANZAAE Conference is a gathering in Aotearoa New Zealand of Art Educators and practitioners, from all levels of the curriculum, from throughout New Zealand and beyond.

After an incredibly successful conference in July 2023 in Te Whanganui-a-Tara - Wellington, the next ANZAAE National Conference will be held 14 -16 April 2025 at Wintec | Te Pūkenga, City Campus, in Kirikiriroa Hamilton.

ANZAAE National Conference is an industrious and energising three days of learning, creative practice, sharing ideas and making connections. It is an inclusive event for anyone interested or involved in Visual Arts or education from early childhood through to tertiary.
