'Called to Mind — Echoes from an Empty Place' confronts the fragility of life; the tragedy of loss. Through meditations on desolation, loneliness, extinction, and grief, the voices of our forebears echo, urging us to care: to breathe, to weave, to mold and shape a robust future imbued with spirit and energy.
Experience a cornucopia of diverse work across a variety of mediums and practices from current Waiheke Community Art Gallery members.
This year there is a broad theme of ‘Home’.
Home is defined as a dwelling or location of culture and origin but also signifies a sense of place, belonging, relationships, memory, comfort, security and safety. We look forward to seeing your creations in response to this theme.
