Summer Exhibition - Opening Night

Krissy Neighbourly Lead from Tikipunga

Join them at the official opening for this special 6 week art exhibition featuring our very own Northland Society of Arts artists from all over Northland!

Wander in and fall in love with some Northland Art
UPDATE: The new traffic light system will affect the upcoming opening we are intending to hold for the Members Summer Exhibition, and because we had around 80 people attend last year, the event the organisers have decided to make the event an entry with a vaccine passport.

Please, if you do 'intend to attend' the opening on Tuesday with us, be prepared to show your vaccination passport at the door.

If you do not wish to attend, the gallery will be open Tue-Fri 10am - 4pm and Sat/Sun 10am - 2pm for any visitors.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
