Contribute to our junk sculpture wall at Arts in Action
This Saturday is Arts in Action - our FREE family Arts festival. During Arts in Action street Artist and educator Harry McNiven will be creating a 'Junk sculpture wall' on our building. If you have an item of 'junk' please bring it along so it can be included and immortalised as a piece of Art instead of a piece of junk.
What we want: Plastic toys, figures, cars & dolls, old modems & phones, tools, small electric items such as speakers, kitchen gadgets, cutlery, other metal and plastic items.
What we do not want: Large electronics, furniture, objects that will decompose E.G, paper or card, food, clothing, sharp or dangerous items such as broken glass or ceramics.
Note# This is not a chance to get rid of large unwanted waste
In the pictures you'll see the space on the left and an example of what a section of the sculpture might look like.
Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
0% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
0% No. This would be impossible in practice.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
