Art exhibition comes to Pākawau

JO RICHARDS

Over Easter, the Golden Bay arts trail is being extended a little further – to Pākawau.

A group of local emerging artists, together with their mentor – established painter Lisa Chandler – are showing their work at Pākawau Memorial Hall.

Catching up with Fullmoon Artist Group members Helen Coombs and Kate Heal at the hall recently, The GB Weekly heard how the idea for the exhibition evolved.

“We put some paintings in the [Aorere] flower show and there was a good response, so we thought we’d do something,” says Helen.

The local community also responded positively, with eight other artists quickly signing up, while Pākawau’s Westhaven Marketing offered sponsorship support.

In order to transform the traditional hall into a functioning art gallery, a means of mounting the works on the walls was required. Modern hanging systems were rejected due to their high cost, so a traditional picture rail, paid for by Tasman District

Council, was installed on all suitable interior walls.

It is the latest in a series of recent improvements that, Kate explains, has included a pair of heat pumps, a complete set of new curtains, plus 200 new chairs. She hopes the upgrades to the venerable building will encourage more groups to make use of the space. “We want the hall to be used.”

The show is, therefore, not just about displaying art works, including paintings, felting, pottery, and photographs, but about celebrating the refurbishment of the hall and showcasing what is a valuable community facility, says Kate. “We’re doing the exhibition to promote the hall.”

Looking beyond the Easter event, Helen envisages the hall being utlilised for regular exhibitions as well as a wide range of other purposes. “It’s a good space for a variety of uses – it’s a wonderful resource for the community.”

Fullmoon Artist Group Art Exhibition is at Pākawau Memorial Hall on Saturday 8 April, Sunday 9 April, 10am-3pm; and Monday 10 April, 10am-1pm. Free entry.

BRAND NEW! Stranded in Paradise

A brand new ‘historical’ music show hosted by Chrissie Smal and based on the book of the same name written by John Dix as a guide to the history of NZ Rock ‘n Roll from 1955 through to 1988. A retrospective on NZ music past and present & the musicians that laid down the foundation stones, creating the sounds of the 1950s, 60s & 70s, & 80s NZ music scene. Some of these musicians have never graced commercial airwaves with their music or received the recognition that they otherwise might have if they’d left NZ to further their craft.This show hopes to bring to light some of these gone but not quite forgotten greats of NZ Rock ‘n Roll.

TBH - Fun, games, facts, music and more with Amos Haring and guests. Airs Monday afternoons at 4.00 and replays the following Sunday morning at 3.00. Links to socials https://linktr.ee/tbhpod www.freshfm.net www.freshfm.net

Our volunteer programme makers are working hard to bring you new listening experiences each week and can’t do this without sponsors.
