Art exhibtion - Tenants & Tutors - Lake House arts
OPENING 20TH OF MARCH 6pm
Join us in the Becroft Gallery at 6pm on Monday 3 March for the opening of the 'Tenants & Tutors Exhibition'. This is your chance to see what the creatives who have studios here, teach art classes, and even run Lake House do creatively.
Lake House has a history of being a melting pot of fun and fantastic creativity! It has been a home to many residents who lived in and worked from the house. Disciples of Ananda Marga were apparently once residents. As were Hello Sailor, DD Smash, Lip Service and other ’70s New Zealand pop royalty, actor Warwick Broadhead, artists, even (now-Councillor) Chris Darby. Established Artists like Paul Woodruffe and Tony Ogle were part of the relocation, rebuild and rebirth of Lake House Arts. Safe to say the Lake House is famous and infamous and the best kept secret this side of the bridge. It is the first port of call for arts on the North Shore and a heritage treasure.
This exhibition will showcase our current tutors, artists, and staff who work from the Lake House.
A range of work will be on display to show our community what happens behind the scenes and around the house!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
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.

Some Choice News!
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!
