An online art gallery
inspired by the rich cultural heritage of Aotearoa.
Our name is derived from the ancestral pounamu source and its legendary taniwha, embodying the spirit of tradition, creativity, and storytelling. At Korokā Gallery, we are dedicated to the promotion and celebration of Māori art, artists, purakau (mythology), and language.
Our gallery serves as a platform to showcase the diverse and inspiring works of talented Māori artists. From stunning traditional carvings and intricate weaving to contemporary paintings and digital art, we curate a collection that reflects the vibrancy and depth of Māori artistic expression.
We believe in the power of art to connect, educate, and preserve cultural heritage. Through our exhibitions, we strive to share the stories, symbolism, and traditions woven into Māori art, providing a deeper understanding and appreciation for this ancient and evolving artistic tradition.
Beyond promoting Māori art, Korokā Gallery is committed to supporting the growth and development of Māori artists. We aim to foster a sense of community and collaboration, providing a platform for artists to connect with art enthusiasts, collectors, and fellow creatives.
Language is an integral part of cultural identity, and at Korokā Gallery, we recognise its significance. We actively promote the use of Te Reo Māori and incorporate it into our platform, accompanying artworks with their Māori names and descriptions to honour the language's beauty and importance.
We invite you to explore our online gallery and immerse yourself in the vibrant world of Māori art, where tradition and innovation intertwine. Join us in celebrating the talent, stories, and cultural legacy of Māori artists as we embark on a journey of creativity, knowledge, and cultural appreciation.
