We are Te Toki Tupuna, the Cook Islands Heritage and Arts Society. A collective of creatives who value art and culture for a prosperous life.
We envision Cook Islands artists, knowledge holders and cultural practitioners empowered, thriving and able to create, teach, and share their passions with confidence. We want to grow a vibrant community for future generations.
Art opens the door to our history and identity, fostering a sense of belonging.
By valuing creativity, we spark exploration, build confidence, and embrace diverse perspectives in an ever changing world.
