Eden Arts
Promoting the arts in Mt Eden

Eden Arts


 


Eden Arts (Maungawhau Mt Eden Community Arts Trust) was founded in 1987 by a group of people committed to promoting the arts in Mt Eden.

We are a registered charitable trust administered by a Board with a working committee. We have initiated a large number of successful events and numerous people have benefited from the vision and energy of the volunteers who make up Eden Arts.

 

Eden Arts Projects

Eden Arts is committed to promoting an awareness of arts and artists in Mt Eden. Projects include literary dinners, sculpture walks, tours of art galleries and other places of interest. The annual Eden Artspeak, Artists in Eden Day, Young Artists Awards and Pub Quiz with an Arts Twist are also popular events.

Another Eden Arts initiative was the installation of a sculpture in Essex Reserve in Mt Eden Village in 2010. For more information click here. We have also updated the large sign at the entrance to Mt Eden Village, near Valley Road, incorporating an image by the late Sir Peter Siddell as a tribute to his longstanding association with Eden Arts. The new sign was installed in March 2012. Click here  to view image.

Eden Arts proudly launched a brand new award in 2011 - the Eden Arts Art Schools Award. This takes place every July and will be hosted in 2013 by Whitecliffe College of Arts and Design.
