Lockdown cans sculpture garden for Women’s Refuge
A sculpture exhibition to raise money for the Women’s Refuge has been cancelled due to the Covid-19 lockdown.
NZ Sculpture OnShore was set to take place at Fort Takapuna in late October, after already being delayed by a year.
But a digital exhibition and fundraising campaign is set to go ahead in its place.
NZ Sculpture OnShore Dee Paranihi said with the current lockdown and uncertainty around alert levels, the risk of continuing with the live exhibition was too great.
“Having already postponed the event by a year due to COVID-19, this is a huge disappointment for our team and sad news I’m sure, to you, too,” she said.
“However, all is not lost! With many of the stunning sculptures completed, or close to it, we are now focussing on bringing you the artworks via other platforms and galvanising our supporter base to raise money for Woman’s Refuge.”
More details on the digital exhibition will be released soon.

Poll: Do you think Auckland Council is doing enough to help households safely dispose of hard-to-recycle waste?
How do we Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle the hard stuff?
We’re talking tyres, paint, and agricultural chemicals — the items that aren’t always easy to dispose of.
Recently featured in The Post, this innovative business is showing how waste can be transformed into opportunity, turning what we throw away into products.
But this raises a bigger question: how do we get our waste to the right people — the ones doing the right things with it?
