Exploring our backyard - 3 Art on 299 Whangamata Road

How often have we all driven past this little gem of a Art Gallery and what a pleasure it was to pop in and peruse the wonderful selection of art and woodworking pieces that are inside.

It's a real treasure trove and well worth stopping for. Woody is a wonderfully friendly man and his dog (Twig) is super friendly.

I have included a couple of pictures with this post that are indicative of the artwork inside the gallery, but by now way does it show the extent of the beauty within.

Woody is really keen on getting local artists and artisans together to have an art evening, so if you are interested in being part of such an evening - pop in and check it out.

Make sure to bring your friends and relatives, it really is worth stopping by.
