The Whangarei Heads Arts Trail began in 2012and has rapidly grown to become one of North Islands premier Art Experiences
During Easter weekend this year we have 40 Artists all located on Whangarei Heads staging simultaneous studio and community venue exhibitions so that visitors from around the country can take in the spectacular scenery whilst browsing through the amazing selection of work available. If you have visited before you might like to know what's NEW THIS YEAR. For 2015 we have 8 new local entrants: Sharon Grace who makes stunning teddy bears that are definitely something for the grownups to appreciate. Pauline Marjoribanks who paints, quilts and makes beautiful textile pictures, Jeff Andrews of Atomic furniture who creates metalwork art and furniture, Brad Walters who does fabulous things with an airbrush and is also a keen acrylics painter, Clive Ihaka who is a wood turner and Shirley, his wife, who spins and knits, Jade Knight a young aspiring painter and Adam Blackwell an accomplished gold and silversmith. We are delighted to have them all on board and bringing new skills and work to the trail. |
AND THAT'S NOT ALL
For 2015 as well as 8 new local entrants we have 6 great guest artists who will bring all new work to the event. We are delighted to have Terry Haines from Auckland bringing exciting sculpture, in a range of media, for indoors and out, Pete Brammer, originally of Sheffield (the city of steel) UK, who in the past 16 years has become well known in NZ for his fabulous metal work. Becs Wood a talented new artist working in pen and pencil drawing and clearly producing work that will make her a great favourite, Gabrielle Ashton who is joining us again to show her very popular glass and silver jewellery designs, Lenka Mason our student from North tec who is honing her style and work in photography as well as exploring a range of other media and Andy Morrison of Honey House Studio, Kaitaia who works with wood, using natural shape and form to create great sculptural pieces with a polished and painted finish. I’m sure they will all add a fantastic extra dimension to the weekend.
If you can't make the Easter event or find it all to much to cover in two days then most of our artists will welcome you to view their work at any time by prior arrangement. Please check out the Any Time arts trail tab.
