Mīharo Murihiku Trust is a Māori and Pasifika cultural arts trust based in Murihiku, Aotearoa. We facilitate and manage cultural and arts events within the Southland and Central Otago regions. This includes events, workshops, exhibitions and projects with a strong focus on engaging rangatahi.

We provide meaningful and enriching opportunities for our community that are underpinned by Māori and Pasifika values.

We want to see a region where arts and culture are visible, valued and thriving. A region where young people are exposed to meaningful and attainable opportunities for their futures.
