AN ART CLEARANCE... AND A GOOD CAUSE

All artists recognise the moment their studio walls and floor space are brimming with past passions and experiments … and wonder what to do. Paint over, gift, use them for a good cause?

For Matariki 2023 the Raglan Art group offers a week long visual arts clearance at Little Hill studios. Work by ten artists will be on display with a wide range of styles and media. There will be some new and older work for sale at reduced prices. Each artist’s work will be displayed on one of twelve panels and on the walls of Little Hill Studios.

Wanda Barker, owner-artist at Little Hill, says: “Come visit us on the weekends, or during the week, to celebrate, to purchase older work at good prices, and support our local artists and community initiatives.”

For this special week 25% of proceeds will go to the Feed the Kids programme at Raglan Area School. Open from Saturday 14 July until Sunday 22 July from 10am to 4pm at 49B Hills Road. Eftpos available, or internet banking. Cash sales accepted.

Wanda explains: “Raglan Arts is a collective of 20 visual artists, established in 2016 to support each other’s art practices and grow the profile of visual arts in our creative community. We host critique evenings, take art trips, create arts workshops (Laborartry) and display work at Raglan Info Centre, Rivet Gallery, Raglan Old School Arts Centre, and until recently we curated monthly group shows at the Community House Basement.”
