Journey with Me

Franklin Arts Centre from Franklin Arts Centre

Journey with Me
Sheree Foster
30 July - 19 August 2024

Journey with Me is Sheree Foster's 4th solo exhibition of works, she has created as she continues on her "Journey" returning to the Arts.

This exhibition showcases her artistic journey through unique art pieces which are "one off" and are created from a range of repurposed materials as a means of honouring the environment. She is inspired by the materials that she gathers from Mother Nature and combines them with textiles, metals, flax, weaving and cordage, harmonizing with texture and form to re-contextualize into three-dimensional work, often showing a Pacific rim, contemporary and botanical theme.

Free events:

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?
