Step into WOW: Kōrero with Karl Chitham for Toi Māori Creatives

On behalf of the World of WearableArt (WOW), join Karl Chitham, co-judge of the WOW Toi Rakei Award, for a relaxed kōrero and kai.

This is a wonderful opportunity for artists, makers, and toi mahi across all disciplines to hear behind-the-scenes insights into this globally recognised creative platform and learn about exciting new developments for toi Māori artists in the 2026 WOW Competition.

WOW continues to foster a supportive and inclusive space for artists and creatives. With entries for the 2026 competition opening in November, this is an ideal time to consider joining this growing whānau and giving it a go.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Feel free to share this with any Māori or Moana Oceania makers who may be interested.

Free, RSVP required.
