Toi Iho

The Toi Iho mark is a registered trade mark used to promote and sell authentic, quality Maori arts and crafts.  The creation of the mark was facilitated by Te Waka Toi, the Maori Arts Board of Creative New Zealand, in consultation with Maori artists.

The Toi Iho Maori Made Mark is for individuals and groups of artists who are of Maori descent. To find out how to apply to become a licensed toi iho Maori Made Mark user visit the Toi Iho website, www.toiiho.com

When attached to an artwork, the Toi Iho Mark guarantees it was created by a person of Maori descent and provides an assurance of quality.

The Toi Iho Mark has also been designed to authenticate exhibitions and performances of Maori arts by Maori artists.

The Toi Iho webiste, www.toiiho.com lists all artists who are licensed users of the Mark and all retailers who are licensed stockists. Art and craft retailers and galleries may apply to become Toi Iho licensed stockists if they stock the works of licensed mark users.
