Legend has it that millions of years ago, kiwi sacrificed their wings and bright plumage to live on the forest floor and protect the ngahere.
The Kiwi Art Trail is a collection of 20+ kiwi sculptures that have been turned into bespoke pieces of art by talented New Zealand artists. The trail starts at Te Komititanga Square just outside Commercial Bay, then weaves along the waterfront, through Viaduct Harbour and over the Te Wero Wynyard Crossing Bridge, before ending in Silo Park.
From February 15, kiwi sculptures will brighten up the streets of Downtown Tāmaki Makaurau. These beautiful works of art will teach Aucklanders and visitors about the plight of our national taonga species, the kiwi, and what we can all do to help. Starting at Te Komititanga outside the Britomart Transport Centre, the trail will guide guests along the waterfront toward Silo Park.
Following the Art Trail, the sculptures will be auctioned and proceeds will go towards kiwi conservation.
