Arts Out East supports community-led mending and upcycling shop
Arts Out East is supporting a beautiful new initiative by NFACT (New Settlers Family and Community Trust), empowering women from refugee and migrant backgrounds in East Auckland.
This welcoming programme offers a space to connect, share stories, and explore creativity through art, embroidery, and textile work. Led by skilled women, the hands-on sessions build confidence and foster a strong sense of belonging.
Join the group every second Thursday, 11am–1pm at the Cultural Hub in Ormiston. Bring your well-loved clothes or items in need of repair to the community-led mending and upcycling shop, it’s a great way to breathe new life into your garments while supporting a meaningful cause!
Arts Out East is a Te Tuhi programme supported by The Howick Local Board.
Auckland, why are we so excited about a new store? 🚗🛒
I think we’ve all seen the traffic notices and headlines about the new IKEA by now!
So here’s the question: why do we get so excited when a new store opens? Convenience? Curiosity? A reason for a weekend outing? We’d love to hear your thoughts!
