Arts Edcuation for schools at Corban Estate Arts Centre

In 1892, Assid Abraham Corban, immigrated to New Zealand from Lebanon. Assid and his family purchased land in Henderson in 1902 and created one of the largest and most successful wineries in New Zealand, in Henderson (Auckland). Assid and his wife Najibie had a large family, a successful wine business and were greatly respected by the community.

In 1991, the land was purchased by the Waitakere Council as a community asset. In 1998, the Waitakere Arts and Cultural Development Trust was established and the site became known as Corban Estate Arts Centre. 

Today, Corban Estate Arts Centre is a creative hub including an art gallery, artists' studios, performance and dance companies and provide art classes for adults and children.

Corban Esate Arts centre has been running a Learning Experience Outside The Classroom since 2009 (LEOTC). This programme is funded by the Ministry of Education and provides hands-on art workshops for schools.
