Calling all artists for cat-themed work
Following the success of the 2018 Dog Show exhibition at Taupō Museum, the hunt is on for cat-themed artworks.
Artists and creative people of all ages are invited to exhibit their cat-themed artworks, sculpture and accessories for the exhibition, which will be called CATalogue.
Exhibitions officer Kerence Stephen said artworks submitted should incorporate recycled materials.
“We’ve already had 20 people sign up to bring their feline creations to life, and we are keen to have more,” she said. “If you love cats and art – this is the exhibition for you!”
Remember to use your imagination and have an element of recycled materials in your cat-like construction.
Register your interest with Kerence via the details below and get creating!
CATalogue will run from July 6 – August 12.
The museum is open seven days from 10am to 4.30pm. Entry is free to children and Taupō District residents with proof of address.

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
