SUMMARY:Mike Tate at Carlton Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Katikati Open-Air Art\nMike Tate will present an exhibition of his latest work at the Carlton Gallery in June 2026. \nHis practice continues to evolve from earlier native timber pieces into a distinctive style that still honours a wood-inspired aesthetic\, now reimagined with a contemporary twist. \nA long time photographer\, Mike draws on his extensive catalogue of images\, selecting favourite scenes and transforming them into intricate wooden artworks. Each piece is carefully constructed-cut into multiple components\, painted\, and reassembled – reminiscent of a complex jigsaw puzzle. The process is both meticulous and time-intensive\, often taking weeks to complete\, with final result only revealed once the last piece is placed. \nKnown for his bolds use of colour\, Mikes interpretations are often more vibrant than the original photographs\, bringing a heightened sense of life and energy to each work. \nBased on the Coromandel Peninsula\, his art reflects a deep connection cto the region\, particularly its Pohutukawa-lined coastlines\, beaches\, and native bush. \nMike spends much of his time exploring landscapes\, often combining this with conservation work through Thames Coast Kiwi Care. His journeys across the Peninsula continue to inspire a growing collection of imagery-far more than he has time to create-each piece a thoughtful and crafted reflection of place. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Te Waka o Rangi: Stories Written in the Stars An Exhibition by Students of Northern Health School
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: The Incubator Creative Hub\nWe are absolutely delighted to welcome Northern Health School as our feature exhibition in the Incubator Gallery this Matariki. \nTheir beautiful display explores Te Waka o Rangi and the many layers of meaning held within Matariki – stars\, stories\, and remembrance – brought to life through harakeke whetū and a striking manu tukutuku created by ākonga/students. \nAlongside this\, the exhibition shares the journey of “What’s in a Name?”\, where curiosity about the local street names ‘Harata Way’ and ‘Hoariri Way’ led ākonga to the rich local history of the Battle of Pukehinahina and the courage of Harata\, a young Ngāi Tamarāwaho wahine. This collaborative exhibition celebrates the creativity\, learning\, and connection of ākonga\, kaiako\, whānau\, and the wider community. \nOn display in The Incubator Gallery and Studios from the 4th of July to the 25th of July\, 10am – 3pm. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Opening: Āwhiowhio | Matariki
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Art + Body Creative Studio\nĀwhiowhio is an exhibition that views creativity as a force of movement\, transformation\, and renewal. Like a swirling wind that gathers ideas and clears new paths\, this collection explores art as an elemental energy—one expressed through the physical rhythm of the etched mark and the pressure of imprinting. \nĀwhiowhio reveals the creative journey of a series of community workshops where participants explore drypoint etching and various printmaking techniques. The resulting works form the exhibition itself\, serving as a visual trace of shared experimentation and intent. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Matariki Maumaharatanga | Matariki
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Te Puna i Rangiriri Trust\nMatariki is a time of remembrance\, reflection\, and renewal — a moment in the year when we come together to honour those who have passed and to look ahead to the future. \nOur Maumaharatanga ceremony offers a space for the Tauranga Moana community to gather in the early hours of the morning\, to call the names of loved ones who have passed away\, and to acknowledge them as we welcome the rising of Matariki. This shared moment of remembrance allows whānau to grieve\, to reflect\, and to stand together in support of one another. \nThis year\, the ceremony carries particular significance for our community. Following the devastating landslides on Mauao and Welcome Bay in January 2026\, which claimed lives and deeply impacted Tauranga Moana\, this gathering becomes a space not only for personal remembrance\, but for collective mourning and healing. It is a time to hold those affected in our thoughts\, to acknowledge the weight of what our community has experienced\, and to stand together in unity. \nMatariki is a time to reset\, to reconnect\, and to carry forward the memories and legacies of those who have gone before us. This event is open to all. We encourage our community to come together in a spirit of aroha\, kotahitanga\, and maumaharatanga\, as we acknowledge the past and step collectively into the year ahead. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Hadestown: Teen Edition
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Wright Rohde Academy of Performing Arts (WRAPA)\nIntroducing Wright Rohde Academy of Performing Arts’ winter showcase: Hadestown. \nHadestown is a folk-opera musical that intertwines the ancient Greek myths of Orpheus and Eurydice and Hades and Persephone. Set in a Depression-era\, post-apocalyptic world\, the show explores themes of love versus fear\, faith versus doubt\, and the tension between industry and nature \nWith haunting melodies\, driving rhythms\, and a story that feels both ancient and urgently now\, Hadestown: Teen Edition is a powerful celebration of resilience\, community\, and the courage it takes to hold onto hope. \nRaw. Riveting. Unforgettable. \nPlease note\, performances have alternating casts. Details on the ticket link. \nFind out more
