‘We Read Auckland’
An exhibition celebrating ‘text’ in all it’s art forms. Are you a poet, a script writer, a painter or 3d artist who incorporates text in your work? We’d love to hear from you!
Our opening evening will be a ‘Speakeasy’ night of open mic poetry and book reading, we would love to have you join and read! In collaboration with the Helensville Library we bring to you a new and exciting event not to be missed.
To enter, please fill out the entry form on our website and email back to
manager@artcentrehelensville.org.nz or email us if you intend to speak at our open mic event.
‘Cups’
September members exhibition
What does a ‘cup’ symbol to you? It can represent many things, daily comfort, sustenance, provisions, creative importance (I have many fabulous cups that are ornamental not functional) - or perhaps the traditional representation of the actual ‘cup’ in painting, or ceramic domestic ware! To enter, please download the form on our website and email back to manager@artcentrehelensville.org.nz
