A Quiet Moment- A painting exhibition by Stephanie Postles
5 - 27 May 2022

Gallery hours: Mon - Fri 9.30am -4.30pm, Sat 9.30am - 2.30pm

This show comprises of a selection of works from the past two years. More recent works, including ‘I Have A Vision’ and ‘Two Options’ reveal Stephanie Postle’s compulsion to capture and record spaces, people and places as a tool by which to remember. They encourage the viewer to see what the artist does; namely, the beauty in the banal and the intimacy that is found only in quiet moments. Poignant earlier works such as ‘Courage’ and ‘My Black Dog (Cow)’ capture individuals in the midst of emotional isolation or hardship, encouraging the viewer to contemplate the solidarity of shared human experience and perhaps find comfort in them.

Free entry. All welcome.

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?
