Magical Mangawhai Goes Bush is a free community art project led by Rosina Kamphuis (who led last year’s successful Stingray project) for Mangawhai Artists Inc. Magical Mangawhai Goes Bush celebrates our native bush and the flora and fauna that make it so special.
Opening in time for the school holidays, on Friday 19 April by Peter Wethey the Deputy Mayor, the workshop is open every day from 10am, including ANZAC day and weekends up to Tuesday 1 May. The Mangawhai Artists Gallery has been turned to a community art painting centre for the duration of the workshop. All ages can come along, children, adults, family groups. No art experience or painting skill is required. Everyone is encouraged to work with paint and natural bush materials, river stones and paint on banners – drop in and paint! An exhibition in the Mangawhai Artists Gallery follows the workshop. ‘One moonlit night .....’ will use all of the painted material from the workshop to make an exhibition and installation evoking our beautiful native bush at night. Mayor Jason Smith will be opening the exhibition on Saturday 5 May at 3pm. ‘We hope that lots of people from every age group will come along and paint, then come back and explore the exhibition’, Rosina says, ‘this art project is for the Mangawhai community, families, artists, businesses, EVERYBODY!’ For more information mangawhaiartists.co.nz/upcoming-events Key dates Friday 20 April – 10am doors open; Peter Wethey Deputy Mayor Tuesday 1 May workshop closes Saturday 5 May exhibition opens – 3pm by Mayor Jason Smith Sunday 13 May – come and collect, exhibition closes 3pm |
