NEWSLETTER/PANUI July 2024Kia ora Art Lovers,
Welcome to our July pānui | newsletter.
Creative Conversations series in Whangamatā!
It was great seeing some of the local community groups, organisations, businesses, and creatives support this event. People arrived ready to connect, socialise, network and enjoy the night.We started the evening with a Karakia by Peter Priest. Terry Walker, Deputy Mayor and District Councillor, was the MC. Speeches followed from Creative Coromandel and other local community groups about our mahi in the creative sectors and what we all offer to our communities. It was fantastic to hear the stories of successful creative activities and events held in Whangamatā and how they contribute positively to the local community. The message of connection and working together to amplify all our mahi was loud and clear. It was a reminder that we are stronger when we collaborate. Creative Coromandel advocates for our creative industries and communities, and we know how much these sectors contribute to our way of life here on the Coromandel. These conversations aim to uplift and forge stronger ties within communities so we can continue to grow our creative and cultural sectors. Arts Collective Whangamatā displayed artworks from some of their members and turned Edisons Event Space into a popup gallery for the night; we had some great conversations, shared our stories and enjoyed beautiful kai!
Kia ora Whangamatā!
The next Creative Conversation is in Tairua-Pauanui, so keep watching for news about this upcoming event over the next few months.
