‘CREATIVITY IN THE HOOD’ lifting the lid on…

MAPURA STUDIOS

Māpura Studios is a neighbourhood art studio who for twenty years has been supporting people living with disability and neurological conditions. Mapura Studios will present the first in a summer series of community events held at Crave Café. There will be a talk by Professor Bronwen Connor alongside the sale of affordable art by Mapura award-winning artists and an acclaimed New Zealand artist.

Crave has been musing for years about how to make Morningside a better place to live. One of the ways they have come up with is to lift the lid on the people of Morningside to share their stories—to help people get to know the diversity and activities of the people of the ‘hood’.
