Artists from throughout the Kaipara have a central exhibition venue for the future with the success of the second year of the Kaipara Art Awards
The event was judged at The Kauri Museum at Matakohe last week, after a month long exhibition housed in the museum's expansive entrance foyer. The awards were the culmination of efforts by the Mangawhai and Dargaville arts associations, commercial sponsors, volunteers, and Kaipara District council assistance. “It was a wonderful event, a great exhibition, and the museum foyer space meant it was open to the public without charge,” said museum curator, Bet Nelley. “The event was a tribute to our Kaipara artists, and all concerned, including museum staff who organised a first class exhibition.” The KDC arts portfolio is held by Councillor Julia Sutherland. “These second awards are greatly improved, greatly expanded in a really great setting,” she told the capacity crowd at the awards ceremony. “Huge thanks to The Kauri Museum for providing the venue and dedicating space over several weeks to exhibiting this wide range of wonderful works. “This has allowed us to showcase the district’s talented artists to the many visitors and locals who come to visit.” Ms Sutherland added that for the participating artists, the awards’ theme — Kaipara from the Pacific to the Tasman — had obviously been inspirational. “We have had a marvellous number of entries in almost all categories, which I guess made the judges’ job a difficult, albeit a pleasurable, one. Thank you for taking the theme seriously, for interpreting it in so many ways, and for letting us all see the district — coast to coast and all the landscapes and history between — through new eyes.” Commenting later on a judge's suggestion that the KDC might look at increasing support for the arts, Ms Sutherland said it was obvious that the event “could not have been held at all without the financial help of our sponsors. “Brookfields lawyers provided sponsorship for a second time at an increased level, and that is marvellous. New sponsors this year were MPL Landscape Supplies, NorthSouth Multi Media and the Kaipara Lifestyler, Westmoreland Homes and Northland Waste.”

“I have mentioned the Kauri Museum’s support and I would also like to mention the huge assistance from Kaipara’s arts associations. Members from Mangawhai and Dargaville formed a steering committee to brainstorm ideas, decide the structure and format, and thus to do the background work for the event that supported the organising capability of council staff, particularly Heidi Dreyer. “Promoting these awards is an unusual activity for council, far removed from its preoccupation with roads, rubbish and stormwater. The arts associations in the district have large local membership and are very active and enthusiastic. See results on page 5
