todd from EarthDiverse

Spend a Day with EarthDiverse at the Auckland Art Gallery!

Join Peter Dornauf and Norman Franke for a guided tour of the Auckland Art Gallery. Enjoy and discuss masterpieces of European and New Zealand art history and of contemporary art. Price includes bus transport from Hamilton & GST. This one-day excursion takes place on Saturday 18 March 2023. Bus departs 9:00am from in front of the EarthDiverse Centre at 401 Anglesea Street and returns at 6:00pm.

Explore the taonga (treasures) of the Auckland Art Gallery with two art experts who have a background in art history and cultural history and who are themselves practitioners. The guided tours are interactive: A brief introduction into or contextualisation of the object d’art is followed by questions and answers and discussion. Using the two major shows ‘Myths of Masculinity’ and ‘Romancing the collection’ as a basis, we will have a look at portrait and landscape paintings, still lives and installations, myth making in and through art, social, political and cultural discourses in light of historical and modern art making.

Poll: Do you think Waikato needs an agency to grow its economy?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Waikato may be getting a new ‘go-to’ body for building the region’s economy.

The previous economic development agency, Te Waka, shut down earlier this year, saying the “passionate advocates” no longer had the resources to do what they’d planned.

Do you think Waikato needs an agency? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
