'Giving it a Go'
Over the past two months, MAI hosted 'Give it a Go' workshops: cardmaking, abstract art, drawing
and collagraphic printmaking. A huge thank you to Marion Bilton and Chris Cowley-Thomson for
coming up with such a brilliant idea and for making sure participants were warmly welcomed
to each workshop with morning tea. Thank you to Creative Communities for funding the workshops and
to our fabulous tutors Raewyn Vague, David Just, Jean Fountain and Nicola Everett. And thank you and
congratulations to the 40 wonderful participants who 'gave it a go' !

Beautiful New Zealand scenery and over a hundred talented artists inspired by their environment! The Mangawhai area inspires painters and photographers, mosaic, ceramic, wood and glass artists, sculptors, jewellery makers, weavers and many other artists. You can see their work in exhibitions organised by Mangawhai Artists Inc at our Gallery at 45 Moir Street, as well as in our annual Art Trail. Art and creativity are among the special features of Mangawhai, where you can also enjoy Bennetts Chocolatier and Cafe, the modern Mangawhai Museum, vineyards, cafes, tavern, restaurants, beaches and many walks. |
The Mangawhai Artists Inc Gallery is at 45 Moir Street, Mangawhai, next door to the Mangawhai Library Hall and almost opposite Bennetts café and Chocolatier. We have wonderful exhibitions running throughout the year, with a new exhibition opening every fortnight. Our workspace hosts workshops and events throughout the year as well - so please visit the gallery and this website often to check out what's on. The gallery is open every day between 10am and 3pm.
