We work passionately to create a welcoming space for our community, join the Arts on Tuesday conversation!

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

Join us this Tuesday, 8th April 2025, at 10:30 am as we are hosting our Arts on Tuesday – April event, with the lovely support of the Morrinsville Gallery Fundraising Committee.

We have an exciting program planned, featuring a music performance by Keith Rodgers from Cambridge and an engaging conversation with four artists currently showcasing their work in the Morrinsville Gallery.

We are thrilled to have artist Yvette O’Neill chair this time, bringing a fresh format to our Arts on Tuesdays. The three artists from the exhibition ‘Perspectives’ will present their work in the Whakaaturanga Gallery and share insights about their practices and inspirations. Diane Scott, Jay Drew, and Keirryn Hintz have displayed a wonderful mix of contemporary photography, painting, and exquisite urban landscape line drawings.

This event is particularly special as photographer Francisca Edwards will celebrate her first solo exhibition at the Awatea Gallery. She will join us to discuss her experiences as an artist inspired by her two homes, Peru and New Zealand. Her exhibition, titled ‘Fragments of Aotearoa and Peru—An Ode to the Two Lands I Love,’ also includes a generous initiative to raise awareness about mental health. Francisca will donate 50% of her artist commission to a cause close to her heart, the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand.

Don’t miss the chance to appreciate the amazing work that our curator, Liz Borrows, has organized for our newest space, the Awatea Gallery. This space features now-fascinating elements such as moveable hanging gallery walls.

Fundraising tickets for Arts on Tuesday are just $10 for adults and $2 for children, and they include a delightful morning tea. Your contribution helps to create a better future for our local community, we appreciate it.  We do not charge entry for visiting our exhibitions; however, donations are deeply appreciated.

Remember to mark your calendar: we get together for Arts on Tuesdays on the second Tuesday of every month. Looking forward to seeing you there!
