THANK YOU WELLINGTON for keeping Art alive - Your support means the world to us
A massive, huge, ginormous THANK YOU from the bottom of my Heart for Art for helping us keep our business going during the challenging covid days. I’m so thankful for all your support.
It’s been a huge challenge to start a business and an even bigger one to keep it going through lockdowns and restrictions.
It’s thanks to you, our local community, and your continued support for our homegrown business, that we’re still here … and … that we reached the super exciting milestone of our 50th Studio Paint Party on Saturday!! 🥳🎨 We celebrated the occasion with loads of laughter, a new painting and a big, delish chocolate gateau!
My mission for the business has always been to share the joy and healing of art. I never expected to receive so much joy and healing in return, from you all, during that process.
It has been such a pleasure to serve you and help you find your creativity. Between you, you’ve painted 61 Tui, 87 Island Bays, 42 Pencarrow Lighthouses, 44 Wellington by Nights, 38 Oriental Bays and tonnes of others too.
It's so awesome knowing there’s a whole gallery of your paintings on your walls and I feel so blessed you’ve allowed me to be a part of that. You guys are just awesome!
Thank you so much for your ongoing support. I really couldn’t have done it without you. I can't wait to help you create many more masterpieces and share a tonne more art joy.
Here's to the next 50 Paint Parties! 🍾🥂
Bless you all 💖

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
