The route will go past the gallery and protest against the charge that he says makes it almost impossible for a low income family to access and support Pacific artists.
"For the people who set this charge, that might be normal. But for most of our people, that's what they earn in an hour, if that."
National funding body Creative NZ called the art gallery to a meeting this week after the Herald on Sunday queried the charge.
Director Chris Saines accepts that it was clear on the grant application that admission would be $5.
"While we later sought to increase that charge, I accept that was inconsistent with the terms of our funding agreement. The adult charge will be restored at $5."
A Tautai Pacific Arts Trust spokesperson, Christina Jeffery, said they were disappointed about the charge because it was the first group showing of artists with Pacific heritage that Auckland Art Gallery had had since 1994.
The gallery is owned by the Regional Facilities Auckland charitable trust so cannot trade as a profit-making business.
