Calling ALL Artists...

Alison Shrigley Reporter from The Bay Chronicle

Membership applications have now opened for the Kerikeri Open Art Studios Trail 2021 to be held during Labour Weekend, 23 - 25 October.
KOAST would love to hear from you if you live, work or exhibit in Kerikeri or surrounds and you'd like to join. Have a look on the website koast.org.nz... where you can complete the form online koast.org.nz.../koast-application-form/.

And of course if you're an art appreciator rather than an artist, just pop the dates in your diary!

The Trail had around 3000 visitors during 2019 - the sixth Trail - one of the most successful years to date so they're looking forward to another great Trail this year. KOAST has lots of publicity planned to encourage even more Trail Goers from out of town, so come and join us.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
