Summer Land drop in sessions with Artist Margaret Feeney
Summer Drop in Land sessions with Artist Margaret Fenney
When: Thursday 19 & Saturday 21 December
Where: Community Gallery Space Franklin Arts Centre
Time: 10am – 1pm
TERRA FIRMA
Earlier this year Franklin Community Arts funded artist Margaret Feeney to run a workshop looking at what land means to people. Land is home, it is income, it is ancestral right, it is something we control and use, as well as something we love and feel kaitiakitanga towards. How does art tell the story of all these different feelings?
This summer programme at Franklin Arts Centre explores these ideas in further depth across four workstations exploring mark-making and frottage, clay, collage and paint. The workshops are experimental and fun, and everyone’s welcome.
Drop in any time between 10am and 1pm on Thursday 19 or Saturday 21 December to have a go.
We look forward to seeing you there.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?
-
59% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
16.7% ... It is complicated

Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
