Manawatu Art Expo is less than one month away!
Back for its 15th year, Manawatū Art Expo is our region’s premier art event. As well as being a cash and carry art show, it’s an opportunity to meet the artists behind the work and even see how some of it is made. There'll be 98 artists from around the country exhibiting work and some of them will even be there on the day…
Among them, this year’s guest artist, Vonnie Sterritt. She’ll be presenting demonstrations and exhibiting work right at the entrance to Manawatū Art Expo all weekend, and says she hopes that everyone who walks through those doors from July 15 to 17 thinks, “wow, this is a great exhibition.”
We’re sure you’ll be inspired by all the artwork on show for Manawatū Art Expo: 9am and 4.30pm every day from 15 to 17 July at Palmerston North Conference and Function Centre. Entry is $5 and under 14s enter for free.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
