Welcome to new members. 

The membership and committee of Mangawhai Artists Inc (MAI) welcome you and hope you will be able to be involved many of our opportunities for members. 
​

• Two members' exhibitions are held each year, at Easter and Christmas.

 

• From September to June we have an exhibition opening every 2 weeks, with an opening event usually on Thursday evenings. These are social occasions and are a great way to meet other artists and art lovers. 

 

• You can have your own artist's webpage on our website, see more information here at www.mangawhaiartists.co.nz/artist-profile.html

 

• At 10am on the last Wednesday of each month we have an informal coffee morning at Bennett’s cafe.
