About The Arts House Trust

The Arts House Trust is dedicated to showcasing and supporting contemporary art and artists from Aotearoa New Zealand. Established in 2023, the Trust is the kaitiaki of one of the country’s largest private collections of contemporary New Zealand art, comprising nearly 9,000 works.

Based at the historic Pah Homestead in Hillsborough, Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, the Trust presents a dynamic selection of exhibitions and public programmes, as well as concerts and events that reflect the breadth and vitality of the contemporary arts sector.

Through its Art Loans Programme, The Arts House Trust extends the reach of the collection beyond the galleries, placing original works in workplaces, institutions, and public spaces. In doing so, the Trust enables art to be encountered in everyday environments, supporting both artists and wider public engagement with contemporary practice.
