Community Gallery space at Franklin Arts Centre
Step into a celebration of cultural artistry and creative expression with Adorning Our Space, a unique exhibition showcasing the combined talents of emerging artists Brenda Cottingham, Charlie Cottingham, and Catherine Munro.
Through their individual crafts, these artists draw inspiration from Polynesian cultural design elements to reimagine art that transforms and enriches the spaces we call home. From the intricate patterns of Niue to bold reinterpretations of traditional Maori motifs, each piece invites viewers to reflect on the beauty of cultural heritage and its place in our modern lives.
