Our 2019 Art courses are nearly to a close.

Megan from MEGANZ School of Visual Arts

Hi all,
This year has been a hard year for my family and I with the loss of our youngest son in September. I had to stop teaching my art classes for a while. I did, however, manage to resume them for this final term and now we only have two weeks left for the year.
My students have done some amazing work this year and I am proud of every one of them as I see their individual progress.
I am looking forward to starting again in 2020 with new ideas and projects, with Plein air drawing and painting in the February summer months being one of them. I teach students from age 10 through to adults, with a combination of student-initiated and tutor-initiated projects. So keep us in mind if you or your child will be interested in learning - drawing, painting, mixed media and sculpture in the new year.
Contact me (Megan) if you would like me to make a voucher for a Xmas present for however many art classes you would like for next year.
Wishing you all a very special summer festive season.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
