The Estuary Arts Centre was opened in March 2007, after extensive remodeling, landscaping and decorating being done, with the participation of TAFI, the Rodney District Council and many supportive businesses and community members of the Rodney area, to turn the existing building into a beautiful Arts Centre and Gallery.

Estuary Arts Centre provides a focal point in the Rodney District for visual arts.

The centre is a creative and encouraging facility, contributing to the social and cultural well being of the community.

Estuary Arts Centre is a place for all artists and arts interested members of our community to meet and share skills, ideas and experience.

The Centre is managed by the Arts Forum Inc, and TAFI Charitable Trust.
