3 months of creative events, one peninsula, one artbeat

The first event in the 2024 Coromandel Artbeat Spring Festival is CoroCine, a brand-new Coromandel-centric film fest in Whitianga on 6 September. It marks the launch of this year’s Coromandel Artbeat, a 3 month festival that will pull together a series of creative events mapped out across the peninsula.

The Coromandel Artbeat Spring Festival will bring together and promote a diverse range of artists and creatives. From the CoroCine Film Festival to experimental community music events, and from the Steampunk Festival in Thames to a chemistry course for making pottery glazes, there will be something to inspire and interest everyone. The festival is free for any creatives to register an event and will give everyone a chance to the meet the fascinating artists that live in the Coromandel Hauraki rohe.

The programme is designed to be a ‘choose your own adventure’ art trail that can be used to map trips around the peninsula and to plan a creative (and scenic) journey that could be as short as a day or as long as the whole three months!
