What a special evening we shared this week at the beautiful Kelliher Art Gallery in Parnell ✨

Surrounded by incredible artworks - and wonderful people - we came together to begin exploring the potential for an arts fund with the Whanganui Community Foundation.

It was a reminder of something we care deeply about: we have a passion for, an understanding of, and a responsibility to support the arts.

We’re at the early stages of this journey, and we’re inviting others to be part of the conversation about how we can help the arts continue to thrive in our communities, now and for our future generations .

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us.
