Part of The Great Plate fundraiser 2019, this work has been donated to The Quarry Arts Centre in the hope that it will find a home with a buyer and arts supporter, just like you!
All proceeds go directly into the development and maintenance of one of New Zealand’s most historical and thriving creative spaces. With a long reputation in supporting local artisans and providing a platform for Whangarei’s creative community, we hope you will bid, and help The Quarry Arts Centre continue its creative mission!
All plates are available to view in The Great Plate Exhibition at Yvonne Rust Gallery at The Quarry Arts Centre, 21 Selwyn Ave, The Avenues, Whangarei from 9.30am — 4.30pm, Mon — Sat. We are located just off Western Hills Drive opposite Burger King and Caltex!!

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
