We have an opening.
Have you ever wondered what this work would be like? Perhaps you're looking for more meaningful work?
Due to our continuing growth we have an opportunity for someone new to join our team. Working a roster of flexible hours you'll be involved in all aspects of our work, with full support and training given. We're responsive in our approach and prefer to fit the role to the right person, so if you're interested get in touch and let's have a chat.

Thank You – Information Evening: Death and Dying

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for our recent Information Evening: Death and Dying at the Hundertwasser Art Centre with Wairau Māori Art Gallery.

Your presence, openness and thoughtful engagement made the evening truly special. 💛 We believe our Centre is a place for connection, where people can meet, reflect and share ideas.
As Hundertwasser said: “Come as strangers, leave as friends.”

A special thank you to our knowledgeable and generous panellists who gave their time and wisdom so freely, we are grateful for your contributions to this important kōrero.
