The Old Library Ōmokoroa
What a busy few months at The Old Library Ōmokoroa (TOLO). During Blue September, the Menzshed had an awesome display of their work, plus a knife/scissor sharpening service. We were pleased to donate $258.80 to the Prostate Cancer Awareness campaign. Onto Pink October and the Wonder Women Who Have Changed Our World. Our Project Uplift promotion gathered hundreds of new and nearly new bras for the Pacific Island ladies, and the Bags of Love resulted in a huge box of toiletries for the Women’s Refuge.
Congratulations to Rachel, who won a $50 voucher from the lovely Abby at The Upkeep Company. Thank you, Abby; we know you do heaps to support local groups.
October also hosted the amazing Godwits exhibition, together with the Ōmokoroa Public Art Group’s Godwit art competition.
November saw the Old Library filled with the most amazing quilting work by Ōmokoroa Quilters, and we were happy to support Parkinson’s Awareness month. Beautiful turned wooden tulips were on sale for just $5 each.
How to follow that? With a return visit in December by the awesome John D Wilson with a fresh new collection of art featuring his mind-boggling 3D art. It must be seen to be believed.
We thank our awesome volunteers for their commitment to supporting our community space and gallery. We thank our lovely visitors who have made so many beautiful comments which encourage us to believe we are getting it right. We thank the local groups who use our premises for their activities, proving that there is a need for a small meeting space at a very reasonable hire (often even free).
We look forward to welcoming you to our December display and collection of ‘alternative’ Christmas presents and decorations.
This year has flown by, and we are already booking artists for 2023. January, in particular, will be spectacular. If you are one of our amazing local creatives, why not give me a call and consider an exhibition of your work?
