Home Work: Taranaki Art 2017 09 June - 19 November 2017 09 Jun - 19 Nov 2017 Puke Ariki Home Work: Taranaki Art 2017 showcases our region’s exciting art scene and celebrates the talent of local artists. Open to all artists living in Taranaki and working in any media, Home Work places artworks by emerging artists alongside those with years of experience. Artists play a vital role in forming rich and vibrant communities, and they invite us to see the world from a new perspective. The artworks chosen for Home Work reveal just some of the diverse creative practice happening throughout Taranaki. Building on the first Home Work show in 2014, this exhibition embraces Puke Ariki’s role in supporting and inspiring creativity in our community. Selection for Home Work was made by a panel of three curators – Puke Ariki’s Curator Pictorial Collection Chanelle Carrick, Assistant Exhibition Curator Aimee Burbery and leading contemporary Māori artist Darcy Nicholas. The exhibition showcases the work of 65 artists from across the region and includes a wide range of media including painting, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, photography, jewellery and textiles. Come along and be inspired!

Have Your Say on Suburban Business Centres 22 September 2017 Visitors and businesses at four of New Plymouth’s suburban centres will be asked for their feedback from Monday next week (25 September). New Plymouth District Council wants to find out how the business centres of Westown, Moturoa, Fitzroy and Bell Block are used and what could be done to attract more people to them. “The information we get from the public will guide the Mayor and Councillors when decisions are being made regarding the future of these suburban business centres,” says NPDC Group Manager Strategy Liam Hodgetts. One suburban centre will be the focus each week. NPDC staff and Councillors will be on the ground asking visitors and business operators to fill in the survey on an iPad, and the survey will also be online at newplymouthnz.com/HaveYourSay. Each Friday, staff and Councillors will be present at a local venue with the information that has been gathered and ask for the public’s comments. Everyone who fills in the survey at each suburban centre will receive a coffee voucher, to be redeemed at the Feedback Friday event. The schedule of surveys is: Westown – 25-29 September (Friday venue Little Fed). Moturoa – 2-6 October (Friday venue TBC). Fitzroy – 9-13 October (Friday venue TBC). Bell Block – 16-20 October (Friday venue TBC).
