Mahara Gallery blessing held
After 20 years of planning, fundraising and design, and 18 months' construction, the new Mahara Gallery was blessed this week by Kāpiti kaumatua Te Rakauoteora Te Maipi (Koro Don). A public reopening is expected later this year, once the space has its final touches.
This practical completion stage means the Mahara Gallery Trust can start moving back into the gallery and working on the all-important climate control systems. When the climate is stable, the Trust can move their taonga back and set up exhibitions.
Ngā mihi to those who've helped reach this milestone. It's a testament to the dedicated efforts of many, many people who've worked to achieve the vision of a museum-quality arts space in Kāpiti. To find out more about this project, visit www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...

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.
