Brighton Gallery Fundraising garage sale.
Our gallery needs your help!
As many of you know, we’ve been running the Brighton Gallery with heart, creativity, and community spirit—but unfortunately, we’ve been operating without any external funding. We are looking at closure at the end of next month if we can't raise $2500 for rent.
To help us keep the doors open and continue supporting local artists, we’re holding a Garage Sale this Saturday 31 May at 10am—come down, find a treasure, and show your support!

2025 has been massive. The Luxon-led Government's attacks on workers, on Te Tiriti, on pay equity, on educators, on health workers, and on the public service, have been relentless.
But despite everything thrown at working people, we've also seen some massive wins. We've fought back together with strike action. We've unified with days of action. We have focused on what matters. Make no mistake, 2026 will be wild, and we are ready for it! Source - New Zealand Council of Trade Unions
Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
