Art exhibtion - Tenants & Tutors - Lake House arts
OPENING 20TH OF MARCH 6pm
Join us in the Becroft Gallery at 6pm on Monday 3 March for the opening of the 'Tenants & Tutors Exhibition'. This is your chance to see what the creatives who have studios here, teach art classes, and even run Lake House do creatively.
Lake House has a history of being a melting pot of fun and fantastic creativity! It has been a home to many residents who lived in and worked from the house. Disciples of Ananda Marga were apparently once residents. As were Hello Sailor, DD Smash, Lip Service and other ’70s New Zealand pop royalty, actor Warwick Broadhead, artists, even (now-Councillor) Chris Darby. Established Artists like Paul Woodruffe and Tony Ogle were part of the relocation, rebuild and rebirth of Lake House Arts. Safe to say the Lake House is famous and infamous and the best kept secret this side of the bridge. It is the first port of call for arts on the North Shore and a heritage treasure.
This exhibition will showcase our current tutors, artists, and staff who work from the Lake House.
A range of work will be on display to show our community what happens behind the scenes and around the house!

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
