WAIPU MUSEUM AR'NTARTAN WEARABLE ART 2021
The Entry Form for the 2021 Art'nTartan Wearable Art Awards is now available.
This exciting event in the Northland calendar missed out last year because of Covid 19 but this year all systems are go.
The contest is to be held in October and to streamline the event there is to be one big OPEN SECTION for all artists with awards being given for certain aspects of their design - in other words anything goes! All designers need is some conspicuous use of tartan. There will, of course, also be the ever-popular Mask contest for children.
Closing date for Entries is July 26th and forms can be picked up at the Waipu Museum or downloaded from their website or the Art'nTartan Facebook page. Any queries can be addressed to artntartan@gmail.com.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
40.6% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.5% No, I enjoy it
-
1.8% Other - I'll share below
