Mentors Wanted to Support Creative Kids
We are still on the hunt for skilled artists to share their knowledge with the next generation of New Zealand creatives.
In a partnership with Kawakawa Kahui Ako, and supported by Eastern and Central Community Trust, we're running a mentoring program that will pair artist mentors with ambitious mentees. With your help and support, our mentees will set and work toward their creative goals over three terms, starting May 2022.
If you're someone who can help our local tamariki thrive by sharing your artistic knowledge, apply to be an artis mentor today!
Just email a CV and short bio to info@feildingartsociety.com. We're also happy to answer any questions you may have.

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.

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!
