Last week for PulseArt exhibition

The Team from Depot Artspace

"My paintings are of moments that have caught my attention... They are little flashes of memory and image. Introspection, for me, is a going inwards. That is now partly triggered by reflecting on my illness (cancer) without it “knocking me down.”" - Beth Hudson

"In this instance the painting (in this exhibition) takes on a life of its own, going beyond the chalked outline of a hand, converting it into something rich and vibrant." - Fran Marno

"My partner is writing a book... based on a chess board with 2 Queens on the board... Hence, I am working with canvas squares like a chess board with imagery of mine and my partner’s scarves, which represent our bodies." - Sue Marshall

"I was drawn to the shape and material of the fishing weights; they look like water droplets and they have been hot and molten and are now cold and set. It got me thinking of memories, embarrassing, passionate, sad and happy ones..." - Cath Head

Make sure to check in for the final week of PulseArt "Over my Shoulder" exhibition featuring 4 artists from this Auckland based lesbian group formed in 1999.

Exhibition ends 30 November.

Current gallery hours are:
Tuesday - Friday 10am-3:30pm

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
