Wellington Arts Centre Trust

Trust was located in historic Wellington house at 335 Willis Street Wellington. Was set up by the City Council in the 1970s. As well as promoting the arts with workshops, exhibitions, dramatic and dance performances, the Trust was very involved with the Wellington Summer City Festivals in their great days between 1979 and 1985 when they rode high on Government PEP funding
