Whanganui
Whanganui is a city rich in design. It has both a diverse collection of historical art and craft and a growing interest in contemporary urban ideas.
In 2021, Whanganui was announced as New Zealand’s only UNESCO City of Design, one of 49 such cities worldwide, in recognition of exceptional creativity, innovative spirit, cultural integrity and strength of artistic tradition.
Whanganui’s City of Design status is not only a recognition of its creative heritage, it also reflects the unique significance of its indigenous cultural identity and the direction the city is taking.
Whanganui has launched a new Festival of Design Aotearoa, and we are developing a public design competition for a Paererewā in the 2028 festival.
