Art Deco Trust Inc is a not-for-profit registered charity CC21328 formed by a passionate group of individuals in 1985 to voice their opposition to the demolition of a number of Napier’s iconic art deco era buildings.

The Trust’s mission and purpose is to protect, promote and celebrate our art deco era heritage and we are the guardians, storytellers, and interpreters of the regions art deco era heritage following the devastating 1931 Hawke’s Bay earthquake. 

Our protection, promotion and celebration of the city’s heritage bring vibrancy to the city of Napier, generates tourism, economic prosperity, and engenders community pride and identity. 

We do this by hosting walking and vintage car tours of the city of Napier; we provide heritage advisory services and provide grants to building owners for the maintenance of their buildings through the Robert McGregor Heritage Fund; we host the biannual Hawke’s Bay Heritage Awards; and we celebrate our city’s heritage annual by hosting the iconic Art Deco Festival Napier.

The Trust is generously supported by our community of art deco friends and supporters who enable us to ensure the spirit of Art Deco shines on!
