PACIFIC ART IN RESIDENCE

The stars aligned on the eve of Matariki when SCAPE Public Art, in collaboration with Bergman Gallery and Wrightmann House & Collection, presented ‘Pacific Art In Residence’ at the welcoming home of Anthony Wright and Selene Manning. Guests celebrated the magnificent art of the Pacific enjoying delicious Pacific canapés, handcrafted artisan gin cocktails and live music. Funds were raised for the artist Mahiriki Tangaroa to exhibit at Personal Structures during Venice Biennale 2022 (a first for the Cook Islands) and SCAPE’s charitable trust.
