Onehunga’s wealth of creative talent is on display for Aucklanders and visitors to our region throughout March at Toi Onehunga. 

Toi Onehunga is a free pop-up gallery situated in the heart of Onehunga which showcases some of the many amazing artists who call our area home.  

More than 30 artworks will be on display, ranging from paintings and photography through to ceramics and sculpture.

Toi Onehunga includes works that explore the rich heritage of the Onehunga area, from maunga to sea, as well as subjects from further afield.

The event is curated by Auckland artist Isaac Trebilco, who has selected a diverse range of works from more than a dozen local artists.

Since 2019 Isaac has been working on a series of portraits featuring ahi kā and members of the #ProtectIhumātao campaign, which will be displayed at Toi Onehunga.

Isaac’s work also features as part of WWF-New Zealand’s ‘Whale Tale’ 2022 immersive public art trail, with his work entitled ‘Our Hands’ located near the gallery on Onehunga Mall.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
