Background
Paekakariki has been known as a haven for many artistic people to either live or visit on a regular basis. With this in mind it seems fitting that this be acknowledged in some form of public display. Along with this the area is rich in Maori History with special links to Ngati Toa, Te Rauparaha and Te Rangihaeata, through our local hapu Ngati Haumia.
