Tautai supports the development of contemporary pacific art through actively fostering and maintaining links between contemporary pacific visual artists.
Tautai was founded in New Zealand in the 1980s as an informal network from an initiative by Samoan artist Fatu Feu'u and friends together with a small group of then emerging artists. This group shared a goal of mutual support for the promotion of pacific visual art artists, including their own.
It operates on the understanding that the artists remain independent of Tautai and come together through the Tautai connection to participate in art events.
