We came to Tiapapata Art Centre one very hot afternoon for a meal and were very pleasantly surprised. The home cooked food was delicious! My sweet tooth loved the homemade cakes and ice creams... and the view was amazing. In fact, the food was so good that we frequented this place during our stay in Apia.... The beautiful art work is well worth a look. There are some incredibly beautiful pieces for purchase and the art centre offers classes and support to many budding artists and students in the local and international community. The hosts, Steve and Wendy go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Thank you so much for making our holiday to Samoa so memorable. We will never forget your kindness and your delicious sasalapa ice cream. If you are holidaying in Apia, Tiapapata Art Centre should be a part of your itinerary.

Visited today and really enjoyed my time. We were welcomed warmly as we arrived and given an explanation of the art school. It is only 10 tala per person - you can explore yourself or be given a guided tour for this price. Definitely do the tour. Our guide was wonderful, explained the cultural significance of all the artwork and we got to learn about Samoan culture and folklore. She also answered all our questions about the art school and the Samoan culture and was so lovely and friendly. You can also watch the students as they create their amazing artworks.
