The Performance Arcade 2022 - thank you!   2 March 2022

From the whole 2022 Performance Arcade whānau - thank you for joining us under the sun, in the Welly wind or from home via our Live Stream.

It's a privilege to have been able to go ahead with our event in these unprecedented times and it would not have been possible with out the support of our amazing artists, audiences, principal sponsor Trustpower and event partners Wellington City Council, The Kalderimis Family and Creative New Zealand.

Our 2022 Live-streams are still available for your enjoyment here: https://www.theperformancearcade.com/

Aroha nui, take care and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
