Matariki at NORTHART

Connecting Community and Creating Art for MATARIKI 2024 With grateful thanks to  Kaipātiki Local Board and Kāipatiki Community Facilities Trust 

Festivities, Exhibitions Art-making Activities and Workshops ALL ARE WELCOME TO THESE FREE ACTIVITIES AND FESTIVITIES 

The creative process inspires contemplation and Northart encourages thoughts around kaitiakitanga for Matariki programming. Northart is offering an intense period of interactive art-making with a combination workshops and drop-in art sessions along with celebration of community.

SOUTH GALLERY A swansong exhibition celebrating both this gallery space and our local environment. Works inspired by native flora and fauna to show in the South Gallery. The last opportunity for members to exhibit in the current building before Northart moves to temporary premises in 2025 and then to a dedicated gallery in the new Northcote community hub.
