Arts-e-News 27 January 2012

 

Kia Ora,

 

Have you seen the new banners down Emerson Street? They’re very striking and quite different from the usual street banners that we see in many towns around New Zealand. Screen printed by a small unpaid group of local artists (and yes, I put my hand up to being one of those lucky enough to be included), using Nic Scotland’s Ahuriri Art School premises, the banners make a bold statement all the way down the street. Napier Inner City Marketing commissioned the banners on the theme of ‘Old / New’ as a way of demonstrating how Napier can celebrate not only it’s history, but also it’s modern face.

 

Don’t forget about our Driftwood Art competition (Seaweek 2012, March 3-11) open to all creative beachcombers.  Using suitable materials found on the beach, you are invited to create an exciting and inventive picture, sculpture or hanging for display in the town centre and the Aquarium on the theme One Ocean – Too Much Love? Only materials found on the beach can be used and may include (clean!) rubbish as well as driftwood and stones. For some awesome inspirational, google ‘driftwood sculpture images’… you will be amazed by the breadth of inventiveness and creativity.  Call or email if you would like a registration form.

 

And finally… this Sunday! The forecast is looking good. The band is rehearsed. The dancers are warming up. The cars are due. The face paints are ready. Will you be there? Hope so!

 

There are more events and exhibitions on at the moment, but this website host won't let me upload them. Most frustrating! For a full news letter, please contact the office.

 

Till next time…
