We had a wonderful art excursion to the Te Whare o Rehua Sarjeant Gallery last Wednesday with our morning studio group. Everyone had a splendid time gazing upon Hemi MacGregor's fantastic exhibition Waiora and exploring Āhua Rerekē: Curious Works from the Collection. We then took part in an enriching activity in the Art Education rooms with insightful Gallery Educator Sietske in response to Waiora and created these delightful works on paper. Abundant smiles!

Kia ora everyone, the lifts in our building are out of order today (since Monday). We thought to let you all know in case the stairs are difficult for anyone coming up to Level 2. Thank you for your understanding. Hopefully the lifts will be all sorted soon. Ka kite, wintry blessings❄️💗

Hello💛friends, we hope you’re all feeling inspired & uplifted in our little art haven. Unfortunately, 4 precious public library art books have wandered off from our space recently & may be enjoying an unexpected adventure. If you’ve recently borrowed or accidentally taken a book home, we’d be so grateful if you could return it when you’re next in. No stress at all—these things happen! The missing library books are:📙Painting People,📘50 Paintings You Should Know,📒Art of the Street &📗Street Art. If we cannot locate them, we are facing fines of around $200 to replace the missing books.

Your support helps keep this space welcoming, shared, and well-stocked for everyone’s creative journeys. Thank you as always for being part of this special community 💫
