The vision for this venture keeps expanding, thanks to suggestions from the community. Love Flowers opened on Monday 2nd December.
From that date art for display and sale will be welcome. There will at least be art from private collection (not for sale) on display.
Information material will be limited initially. A reminder that brochures for businesses (accommodation, fishing charters,etc) will be displayed at a cost of $10 weekly, which will also provide $20 weekly worth of advertising on community radio station Mountainside FM 88.3. More volunteers are needed for the (visitor) information centre. 021488427 hollyinvest@xtra.co.nz
During December artist Andrew Denton will be occupying the front window beside the café, sculpting a nativity scene from clay. He will welcome people popping in to chat, and watching him through the window will be ever changing entertainment. The window is available to be booked for a day to a month. Additionally, space within the gallery is available for artists to operate with an audience.
Any one will be welcome to come in, sit, make tea or coffee (gold coin donation), chat. Space for meetings can be arranged for community groups at any time, with no charge (donations welcome) for not for profits. There is a private carpeted room with an expansive view available to hire by the hour or day (suitable for small meetings or consultancy, counselling etc.). Full kitchen facilities complete the potential options for use.
