MEGANZ School of Visual Arts wishes you all a Happy Summer Holiday
We have come to the end of our year of having some serious fun creating, exploring, and learning heaps of new artistic processes.
I am very proud of all our students. They have worked hard, produced some amazing artwork, and learned a few art tricks along the way.
We will be opening again from 29th January for our eight-week 'Art Development Courses' for students aged between tweens, teens, and adults. We have afternoon, evening, and Saturday class times available. Best to check out our website for details, www.vizart.co.nz... and from there, go onto our school Instagram page to see what our students have created over this past year.
We always like to arrange for a 20-minute meet-and-greet appointment before students begin. So between now and when we start give Megan a call or a text to make a time to meet.
Look forward to hearing from you for some creative artistic fun for 2024

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
