One of Auckland’s most beloved and eagerly anticipated art events, the Turua Tiny Show returns for its fifth consecutive year on Friday 28 November 2025, with the doors opening at 5pm sharp. Each year, the event draws crowds who line up early, eager to secure a coveted piece from this charming and collectible exhibition, with works from most of Turua Gallery’s artists.

Coinciding with the St Heliers Christmas Twilight Night, visitors can enjoy an evening of festive markets, live music, Santa sightings, and the lively spirit of community alongside the buzz of opening night at Turua Gallery.
