Arts E-News

 

 

As the newly appointed Community Arts Coordinator for Creative Napier and this being my first Arts E- News, I  thought I would tell you a little about myself. I have lived and worked as an artist in Napier for 14 years, so some of you may know me already. My own work includes pottery, jewellery and fabric art… I have been a successful entrant into the World of Wearable Art for the last four years and as I write this, am eagerly awaiting to hear if my latest submission has been accepted for this year’s competition.

I’m really looking forward to getting to grips with my new position and helping the Board of Creative Napier increase our profile in the community and to fulfil our obligation to our main funders, Napier City Council.

If there is anything you would like to talk to me about, please phone or call around to the office in Community House. I am planning to be available there on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, but please call first to check I’m here and save a wasted journey.

Please note that the venue for our AGM has changed. We will now be meeting at The Starving Artist, bottom of Emmerson Street, same time, 5.30pm on Wednesday 28th July.

Looking forward to meeting you there…

Christine Heaney

Community Arts Coordinator
