Waiheke is now becoming an ‘Island of Art’ and along Mako St. and in the village close by there are a number of galleries and studios to visit.
Join us at the Art Lounge at 32 Mako St. for a chat and a cup of coffee, browse works that reference the local surrounds and see what is in progress in the studio up at Trig Hill as well. Pick up a limited edition print, a smaller original work or a souvenir from a selection of postcards to remember your visit. If you see the sign is out, pop on in!
Jeweller and artist Sarah Morrison is working on a new body of work at the Art Lounge and we will both be working on new pieces for the upcoming Waiheke Winter Arts Festival 2016 as well as Jostle, the next exhibition on at the Waiheke Community Art Gallery.
Meanwhile have a look at some new works in progress and come and visit us in the weekend!

Thanks so much to everyone who adventured up the hill to see us over the weekend. It was great to meet so many new people from the island and from far and wide. All up we had over 90 visitors during the weekend! Huge thanks to Roberto Sarlo who treated us to his beautiful music on Sunday morning, and then spontaneous jams with Raul Sarrot and those who couldn’t resist having a go on the drums ( I couldn’t find my proper jazz sticks so we just used paint brushes – they worked a treat! )
And what a magic way to finish the weekend with a visit from Jane and Kevin with their two curious daughters fascinated by the night sky, stars, the sun, astronauts and space in general. We’ll be working on getting some kid friendly ‘astronomy appreciation’ programmes established up there, the winter is such a special time to do some star gazing, so much to see. Thanks Jane and Kevin – a very special way to finish a fabulous weekend!
