Drop into the Carlton Gallery in Katikati for Climate Canvas, a free visual art exhibition showcasing this year's stunning competition finalists. Each piece reimagines our changing environment through creativity, hope, and innovation - offering a moving, and thought-provoking look at how our community sees the world around us, and the future we're shaping together.
This year's theme, Precious Resources, invites artists to explore what we stand to lose and what's worth protecting as our environment changes. Expect beautiful, and at times, deeply personal works that celebrate the resources we too often take for granted: water, soil, forests, community, and connection.
Entry is completely free, so bring the whānau, bring your friends, and come be inspired. We'd also love to welcome school and community groups. Get in touch if you'd like to bring a group along.
When: 5th - 31st October
Hours: Monday-Friday 9am-3pm. Saturday-Sunday 10am-2pm
