Arts on Tuesday – 2nd September, 10:30am

2 Sep, 2025

For the past 15 years, the Morrinsville Gallery has celebrated the art and the people that make our community a vibrant place to live!

 

🎨 Arts on Tuesday – 2nd September, 10:30am
📍 Morrinsville Gallery, 167 Thames Street, Morrinsville,  3300

☕ Morning tea provided (Gluten Free available!)

For the past 15 years, the Morrinsville Gallery has celebrated the art and the people that make our community a vibrant place to live!

The Morrinsville Gallery Fundraising Committee proudly supports this monthly event, designed to provide you with enlightening conversations and a  Q&A session.

Join us for a special morning with sculptor Marcus Tatton and Waitakaruru Arboretum and Sculpture Park founders Dorothy & John Wakeling.

✨ Marcus will share the stories behind his epic sculptures—some over 3 metres tall! You might even see his chainsaw setup in action.
🌿 Dorothy & John will take us through the journey of transforming an old quarry into the stunning arboretum we know today.
🌏 Marcus’s exhibition Return to Aotearoa explores deep connections to the land, whakapapa, and native tree ancestry across Aotearoa and Tasmania.

🪵 Don’t miss this powerful show—closing 7th September!

Come for the art, stay for the stories. Everyone welcome!

Fundraising tickets for Arts on Tuesday are just $15 for adults and koha for children under 12 years. As always, a delicious morning tea featuring home-baked treats (mostly gluten-free) will be served, providing an enjoyable aspect of the morning alongside fellowship and lively conversation.

Your contribution helps create a better future for our local community by supporting the invaluable Morrinsville Gallery, and we deeply appreciate it.

Remember to mark your calendar and check our website regularly—we gather for Arts on Tuesdays once a month. We look forward to seeing you there!

We do not charge entry for visiting our exhibitions, and donations are always greatly appreciated.

As a non-profit organisation, we rely entirely on community support. Our efforts would not be possible without the help of donors, volunteers, and community members like you.
