Cape Coast Arts & Heritage Trust
Preserving and promoting the history of the Cape Coast in Hawke's Bay; and developing and supporting its arts, culture and creativity.
Hawke's Bay
The Cape Coast, Hawke's Bay, has a unique and compelling story, but one which is largely hidden from view. The Trust aims to provide a conduit for this story, so that instead of a fragmented and inaccessible history that exists today, there is a cohesive historical resource.
This resource will act as a framework to engage current and future generations and enable them to be better connected to each other, the land, their story and community.
The Trust, by preserving this heritage for future generations, and educating the current generation, whether they be the local population, visitors or the general public about that heritage and developing and promoting arts, culture and creativity within the Cape Coast.
More about us
