Exhibition from Art Guide creatives
Work from new and existing artists
We are starting to feel excited at Creative Napier. Nextweekfrom Friday, June 2, wewill be hosting an exhibition of artists from this year’s regional Art Guide.
This year’s guide welcomes morethan 30newartists and we’re looking forward to a wonderful exhibition to showcase the work ofnewand existing artists, as well as an opportunity for creatives in our community to connect and share ideas.
This yearwehave focused on producing a user-friendly guide which gives value and space to thedifferent aspects of our rich visual arts community. Within each location individual artists are grouped first, followed by art groups, galleries and art-loving businesses such as cafes and shops.
There are easy to usemaps inthe guide as well as a link to Google Mapswhere people can customise theirowntour – whichwe really encourage people to do. Manyartists have interesting creative spaces and processes to share and they are happy to welcome you in throughout the year.
Public Artnowhas its ownsection inthe guide. Hastings and Napier have long recognised the importance of public art in the cultural life of a community.
Art gives expression and energy to public places and transforms a place of functionality into one that inspires, movesand challenges people. Come along and see the amazing range of talented makers wehave in the Bay.
Most work is available to purchase and the exhibition runs from Friday, June 2, to Thursday, June 15. Presentlywehave on display the bestNCEALevel 3 Art and Design work from
