Mōrena, Villagers!

The lovely sun is out and about! ☀️ On our space today are really awesome community exhibitions: In our Studio Gallery is the annual exhibition by our local art group, Pleasure Painters which just opened last Saturday. In our Mosaic and Cottage Gallery is the Self [Isolation] Portraits. Both shows are by our creative community and we are just filled with aroha seeing these in our building. Many works to see and enjoy!

Do pop by and check out the show to support our local artists and community spaces. We hope to see you around here. 💚

Haina, Annie, and Lauren are three of the amazing volunteers helping us run Folded Futures every Saturday.

When you visit they will welcome you, take you through, answer questions, and help you create any of the three origami designs in this space. We are so lucky to have such friendly and skilled team 💚

Folded Futures free and open every Saturday from 10am to 12noon and at other times by request :)

We have loved working with our friends at MOTAT to bring this amazing activity to Rotorua 🥰

Can you guess which of our studio spaces has been getting a bit of a brighten up?

Over the past couple of weeks the Eric Bridgman Studio has been patched, sanded, wiped, dusted, masked, cut in, and rolled with two fresh coats of beautiful clean paint.

We also have new chairs and tables thanks to the amazing funding support given to us by The Southern Trust earlier this year.

The Eric Bridgman Studio is home to many different groups in our community including the Rotorua Writers Group and Rotorua Astronomical society, and is also used for english language classes, yoga, and ukulele lessons amongst other things!

We are thrilled with the results of this hard mahi and excited to see this room back in use from next week. Huge thanks to our amazing volunteers Frances & Haina who worked alongside our team (Tara, Maui, Tania, Hannah, and MB) to get the painting done.

It looks like a sunny day tomorrow and we hope you can pop in to see our current exhibition, fold some origami in the free MOTAT Folded Futures experience, and perhaps stop by the cafe for a cuppa.

Have a great weekend whānau,

MB & the team

My heart is filled with joy today: it is sunny, the building is humming, and we are installing a new exhibition after a long wait.

‘Self [isolation] Portraits’ is currently being installed across the Mosaic and Cottage galleries here at the village.

This is a group show with artists challenged to use their art to reflect on the experiences of being in our own bubbles and the times we spent distancing during the lockdown. There are 71 amazing artworks exhibited including both traditional and more abstract responses. It is a powerful exploration of self, and I encourage you to take time to look at the works and read the artists statements. Isolation and social-distancing can feel lonely at times but this show really reminds us of the connections we feel through this shared experience.

Our talented cohort of exhibiting artists are: Alana Bennett, Alex Smith, Ann L Bosomworth, Antonia Wright, Byron Romer, Chelsea Chibnall-West, Cindalee Te Rehu-Tuki, Connie Takarangi, Elias Aketi Manavahe, Eric Collier, Faeryl Rotherham, Fried Rat, Gaz Sullivan, Harriet Wright, Heather Kremen, Ian Mac Gabhann, Ileana Onitiu, Ingrid Snyman, Jane Rotherham, Janet Keen, Jennifer Pinuela, Jessica Newman, Jill Briar, Jill Walker, John Skudder, Justine Munn, Kararaina Beckett, Kelly Shrimpton , Lux Taylor, Mana Haghighi & Kathy Lane, Mara Kosac, Maria Hermans, MB Acres, Natascha Hartzuiker, Nicola Wright, Nicole Lively, Rebecca Shrimpton, Rose, Sean Murray, Sierra de la Croix, Sue Skellern, Susanne G, Suz Guet, Tammy Savage, Ted Ronayne, Trish de Muth, and Trudy Knibbs.

There are 71 works exhibited with many for sale, prices range from $20 to $832 and sales will open immediately following speeches at the opening event.

Our thanks to the exhibiting artists and all involved with this show, with special thanks to Sue and Natascha from the team at Te Whare Taonga o te Arawa who are assisting with installation.

The show is opening at 11am this Saturday here at The Arts Village and all are welcome.

I hope to see you here soon, MB.
