New And Unique Event to be Held in Bluff

A new and unique event will take place in Bluff later this month when “Bluff – The Introduction Art Exhibition” takes place at the Lighthouse Gallery at 30 Gore Street, (SH1) Bluff on Sunday 21 May.

The Introduction Art Exhibition will introduce the Mahi Toi Bluff Arts Group to the wider public and what an introduction it will be!

Mahi Toi Bluff Arts is a group of like-minded people formed to hold workshops, and support each other in a creative hub. It is designed to be inclusive and the exhibition is being held to introduce the group, the artists within it, and their work.

Whereas most exhibitions have a theme, as an introductory project for the group, some of whom are first time exhibitors, artists are welcome to submit any work of their choice. The variety will be staggering with photography sculpture, painters, jewellery – absolutely all sorts of work. There will also be live raranga (weaving) by Flaxworx NZ.

Group member Monica Toretto says, “the exhibition will be really interesting. There is a real diverse group of talent ranging from those who have exhibited many times before through to a number who are just starting out. The group is a really good group of people and members are really supportive of each other and their work.”

In addition to a unique art exhibition there will also be a garden market with over 20 stalls and food trucks with a wide range of wares making it an event for everyone to enjoy.

The event will run from 10am to 4pm on the day and promises to be a wonderful introduction to the work of Mahi Toi Bluff Arts.
