Dunedin Arts Festival 2027

The 14th Dunedin Arts Festival will be presented from the 2nd to the 16th April 2027.

But if that seems like a lifetime away - fear not! We will be presenting some works between now and then, like...

TAHI Ōtepoti

Our newest event is a collaboration with TAHI Festival of Solo Performance, and we will be presenting our first programme over four days in October 2026 and providing a well-supported performance and income opportunity for predominantly Dunedin artists.

SUPPORT THE ARTS

Philanthropy and Sponsorship are now a tried and tested method of profile raising and publicity that enables companies (and individuals) to give something back to the community in which they operate.


Supporting the Arts is not just a donation but a sound investment in community and a marketing opportunity for you. Successful sponsorships have financial benefits and PR opportunities.

Supporting the Arts essentially promotes a “feel-good” factor in the minds of people. Research has shown that the public remember the name in association with a good event/time and a carefully considered sponsorship project can add enormous value to existing promotional and public relations endeavours.


Arts Support contributes directly to regional growth in that it supports the growth of a socially healthy and well-balanced society….an intelligent society capable of initiative, creativity, and sustained growth.

What Supporting the Arts can offer you:


  • Opportunity to contribute to and invest in growing the Dunedin Arts Festival to become a truly national visitor attraction for the region.
  • Profile positioning and brand exposure in the Southern region and nationally through a positive, colourful, and high-quality association.
  • Opportunity to entertain friends, clients and staff at Festival events.

  • Contribution to making Dunedin a healthy, interesting, and creative community for us all to live in.

  • An investment in the arts, both nationally and locally.
