Ruth Watson says, “I’m very excited to be involved in this award, which has a valuable role in supporting artists working in a variety of media – this year, 3D practices.

Taneatua Gallery For exhibitions coming up soon in the Taneatua Gallery. Check our calendar of events for dates.
The Tāneatua Gallery is a place that not only exhibits quality art but generates artistic energy in a town that is rebuilding itself..
The gallery is a part of the post settlement healing process for Tūhoe. It creates a platform for the expression of perspectives that are traditionally seen as luxuries to impoverished colonised communities.
Furthermore it provides an environment for artists from around the world to come and share their work and processes with Tūhoe. A dialogue that enriches both Tangata Whenua (Host) and Manuhiri (Guest).
We have been working for well over a year to transform a derelict 100+ year old building into a space to offer this vision.
But we need your help. We need to get rid of the mortgage so we can bring down the overheads and keep the doors open. We also need to finish some remedial building work. https://www.pledgeme.co.nz/projects/4669-taneatua-gallery

Holiday Programme end of Term 1
Over the recent school holidays, Whakatāne Museum and Arts facilitated two children's' workshops at Te Kōputu with Joanne Black, local artist and educator - other times were self-directed with parent supervision. Day 1 had an amazing response, with nearly 50 children taking over the Sheaff Family Gallery to create a unique sprawling city containing zoos, party houses and flying foxes instead of cars.
Gallery visitors, parents and especially kids appreciated the opportunity take over this public space, usually reserved for curated art exhibitions. The room came alive with kids making, creating, and working together to create an evolving cityscape of boxes, colour and layered towers.
