Graffiato to be celebrated at Taupō Museum

Darren Petry from Taupō District Council

The Graffiato street art festival celebrates its 10-year anniversary this year, with a special one-off exhibition.

The exhibition, Graffiato – 10 Years of Street Art, explores stories including the origins of the event, developments within the world of street art and the artists who have contributed to the collection of some 120 murals in Taupō, alongside artworks by some of those artists for sale.

Exhibitions officer Kerence Stephen is delighted to partner with the Town Centre Taupō and Graffiato teams to recognise the decade of artwork.

“The Graffiato event is a unique and a fun part of our Taupō landscape and the museum is excited to host this exhibition in our galleries, she said.

Artists exhibiting include; D-Side, Gwil Yelz, Erin Forsyth, City, Component, Enforce 1, Swift Mantis, Toby Jenkins, Benjamin Work, Margarita Vovna, Freak, Flox, Beck Wheeler and TrustMe.

The exhibition is in the main gallery from September 26 – November 2.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
