There will be an opening at 3pm on Saturday 9 March - all welcome to attend. The Shearers series has kindly been lent to the gallery for this show by John Manuel. Roddy also is exhibiting two new landscape paintings as well, one of which is shown here.
Opening on the same afternoon, in the main gallery we have a selection of works on the theme of 'the figure in action and inaction'. A group show with Gavin Chai, Quilliam Collister, Philip Beadle and Nigel Wilson.
Does anyone have any trilliums that they are splitting up as I would be very interested in acquiring some please.
Knowing your neighbours is one thing, but actually spending time together is to write a much richer story together... an opportunity to have fun, learn more about each other, and recognise that the strings that connect us often run much longer than just the length of our streets.

This month is all about bringing your community together and having a great time! We want March to be all about celebrating the connections we have while making new ones along the way. As we all know, what makes a neighbourhood great isn't the houses and cars, gardens and streets - it's the people who share their presence and aroha with each other.
A wonderful way to take part is to participate in Neighbours Day Aotearoa which is celebrating it's 10th anniversary from March 22nd to 31st. To help you get started, we love their suggestions for 10 little and 10 big ways to get involved. (link below)
Let us know how you're celebrating this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:
