WE ARE LIVE!

Ok, strap yourselves in – here we go again!

We are delighted to bring you a full, bold and exciting 2022 Nelson Arts Festival.

From a giant flying iceberg to tiny whispers, the programme continues to bring to life the vision we co-created with you, our community, back in 2019: celebrating the arts and our community; championing inclusivity, creativity and connection; revitalising our CBD and placing unmissable arts experiences in unexpected places.

We’re so happy to be here now, in this moment in time, in Whakatū. As we move forward, it’s important to acknowledge we would not have survived the past two years of COVID-19 challenges without the unwavering support of our core festival team, our contractors, artists and volunteers, and of course our incredible funders and partners.
Amazing humans all around, we feel your love and support, and can’t wait to see you this October!

And now, go on, explore, enjoy, plan and get excited about this year’s 11 days of unmissable arts experiences for and with Whakatū. Find the full programme here.
