Art in the Park hits Eden Park stadium

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Auckland's Eden Park stadium will host 100 artists in its debut showcase Art in the Park in July.

Painters, sculptors, photographers and print makers will meet members of the community from July 23 to July 25.

Art in the Park, in association with Auckland Unlimited, is part of the Elemental Auckland festival- a program of arts, eats, and beats.

Visitors can meet individual artists, learn about their work, see them create, and take home the art which inspires them the most.

The event will champion the next generation of artists by showcasing some students from Elam School of Fine Arts and emerging professional artists.

Designed by directors Cary Cochrane and Sofija Matich, Art in the Park aims to bring communities together through art that enriches cultures.

"This show offers a new platform for New Zealand artists and a new opportunity to support the creative industries in New Zealand," Matich said.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
