Calling all artists for cat-themed work
Following the success of the 2018 Dog Show exhibition at Taupō Museum, the hunt is on for cat-themed artworks.
Artists and creative people of all ages are invited to exhibit their cat-themed artworks, sculpture and accessories for the exhibition, which will be called CATalogue.
Exhibitions officer Kerence Stephen said artworks submitted should incorporate recycled materials.
“We’ve already had 20 people sign up to bring their feline creations to life, and we are keen to have more,” she said. “If you love cats and art – this is the exhibition for you!”
Remember to use your imagination and have an element of recycled materials in your cat-like construction.
Register your interest with Kerence via the details below and get creating!
CATalogue will run from July 6 – August 12.
The museum is open seven days from 10am to 4.30pm. Entry is free to children and Taupō District residents with proof of address.

Turn downsizing stress into strength
Downsizing can open the door to a new stage of your life that is rich in opportunity. However, it can be a daunting prospect. If you are embarking on a new chapter of life, the thought of shedding familiar possessions can feel even more stressful. This can be true even if the life changes are a good thing, such as a move to somewhere you will love to live.
Once you understand why you have this feeling, you can reframe it as creating a new environment that will support your present life while reminding you of your best experiences.
