It’s an opportunity that goes far beyond the classroom. \nThe exhibition includes a range of drawings\, paintings\, and sculptures that showcase the creativity and skills of our young artists. Each piece reflects the students’ ideas and experiments with different materials and techniques throughout the year. \nWe hope you enjoy this collection and celebrate the creativity of our junior students. \nSponsored by Gate Pa New World\nThis exhibition launch preview is Friday 31st of July – 5.30pm at The Incubator Creative Hub\, The Historic Village\, 17th Ave\, Tauranga Licensed Bar onsite\, and everyone is welcome \nOn display in The Peoples Gallery Toi Ka Rere from the 1st of August to the 22nd of August\, 10am – 3pm. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Just Bring Yourselves - An Exhibition by Jennie Holdsworth
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: The Incubator Creative Hub\nJust Bring Yourselves is a collection of mixed media paintings exploring domestic interiors\, chairs\, vessels and lamps in warm\, muted tones. \nThrough paint\, collage and layered surfaces\, the works reflect on warmth\, welcome and the spaces we return to. A chair at a table asks who sat there before\, or who it might be waiting for. Lamps\, vessels and familiar rooms hold the feeling of home. These are paintings about what a place or an object can hold. \nThe aesthetic behind this work was inherited before it was chosen. It comes from growing up in a home with a particular kind of warmth\, and from three generations sharing a similar way of making a home. The Dutch call it gezellig; a feeling that is difficult to translate but easy to recognise. \nJennie Holdsworth is a mixed media artist and Visual Art educator based in Tauranga\, Aotearoa New Zealand. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Elam School of Fine Arts\, University of Auckland\, and a Graduate Diploma in Teaching. Her work has sold to private collectors across New Zealand. Just Bring Yourselves is her first solo exhibition. \nSponsored by Gate Pa New World\nThis exhibition launch preview is Friday 31st July\, 5.30pm – 7pm at The Incubator Creative Hub\, The Historic Village\, 17th Ave\, Tauranga Everyone is welcome. Licensed Bar available \nOn display at The Incubator Gallery from 1st August to the 22nd of August. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Shakespeare In Love
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: 16th Ave Theatre\nShakespeare but not as you know it – Will Shakespeare has a deadline\, no money\, and absolutely no idea how to finish his next play. Then he meets Viola de Lesseps—clever\, fearless\, and determined to follow her dream of performing on the stage\, despite a world that says she cannot. The result is Shakespeare in Love—a witty\, fast-moving romantic comedy bursting with mistaken identities\, sword fights\, backstage chaos\, soaring passion\, and the irresistible magic of live theatre. \nFunny\, heartfelt\, and full of spectacle\, this is a sparkling night out for anyone who loves romance\, laughter\, and a little theatrical mischief. \nShakespeare in Love is a play with music that was adapted for the stage by Tony Award® and Olivier Award®- winning writer Lee Hall\, basedon the screenplay by Academy Award®-winning writer Marc Norman and Tony Award®\, Olivier Award®\, and Academy Award®-winning writer Tom Stoppard. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Windows and Raw Presence
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Toi Ohomai Institute of Technology\nBachelor of Creative Industries and Te Ara o Mauao Gallery are pleased to present two graduate solo exhibitions for 2026\, featuring Anitarewa Robertson and Kristina Rachacova. \nWorking across sculpture\, painting\, installation and ceramics\, Robertson and Rachacova examine the ways material holds memory\, identity and lived experience. While their practices emerge from distinct perspectives\, both artists engage process as a form of enquiry\, using material as a site of transformation\, connection and reflection. \nIn Windows\, Anitarewa Robertson assembles found domestic and building materials into sculptural installations that draw on fragments of childhood\, place and memory. Through acts of collecting\, reconfiguring and layering\, discarded materials become carriers of personal and collective histories\, revealing networks of connection between people\, objects and place. \nKristina Rachacova’s ceramic vessels and paintings respond to systems of hierarchy and constructed ideals of perfection through an embodied exploration of the feminine. Rooted in gesture and touch\, her work embraces complexity\, adaptability and cyclical change\, where clay becomes a material language for resilience\, intimacy\, care and transformation. \nTogether\, these exhibitions present two emerging artists whose materially driven practices invite audiences to consider how objects\, surfaces and processes can hold and communicate the complexities of memory\, identity and belonging. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:The After Hours Book Club - Waihī Beach
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Waihī Beach Events & Promotions\nFree adult book club in Waihī Beach (18+). From romantasy to fanfiction\, audiobooks to special editions. Every reader belongs here. \nPlease only RSVP if you are confident you can attend. We need accurate numbers for the venue\, so please only secure your spot if you are planning to be there.Supported by The Acorn Foundation 2026 Local Impact Funding. \nKia ora! The After Hours Book Club is a free\, open-door evening space for adult readers of all kinds right here in Waihī Beach. \nWhether you read one book a year or one a week\, whether it’s a library borrow\, an audiobook\, a Kindle\, a dog-eared paperback\, or fanfiction at midnight\, you belong here. There are no rules about what counts as reading\, and no judgement about what you love. \nOur first two sessions have honestly been such lovely nights\, full of easy conversation\, new friendships\, and far too many book recommendations to keep track of. If you haven’t made it along yet\, this is a great month to start. \nThis month\, we’re leaning into a Mystery & Thriller theme. That’s just a loose flavour for the evening’s prompts and activities\, not a reading requirement. You don’t need to have read a single whodunnit\, watched a crime drama\, or even like the genre to join in. Come as you are\, and the conversation will do the rest. \nOur third session is Wednesday 19th August\, 6pm to 7:30pm at Flatwhite. The kitchen and bar will be open on the night\, so come hungry (and thirsty)\, and help us support this wonderful local spot that has so generously offered their space for free. \nHow the evening works: \n6:00pm – Doors open. Grab a drink\, find a table\, and settle in. The table you choose will be your group for the evening\, giving you a small\, friendly circle of people to really get to know rather than getting lost in a big crowd. \n6:15pm – A quick welcome. \n6:20pm – Self-led activities and conversation at your table. No pressure\, no performing\, just good books and good company. \n7:15pm – A short wrap up from the events team. From there\, feel free to stay and keep chatting\, or quietly make your way home. \nThe After Hours Book Club was created because books have a way of getting us through the hard times. This is a space to celebrate that\, to connect with other likeminded people\, and to discover your next favourite read. \nCome in your PJs\, your finery\, your trackies\, whatever feels comfortable. This is an after hours space\, and it’s yours. \nWe meet on the 3rd Wednesday of every month at 6pm. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Ocean Whisperers - Decoupage Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: The Incubator Creative Hub\nStep away from the everyday and into a world of coastal creativity. This hands-on workshop invites you to explore the art of decoupage using beautiful natural seashells collected from Papamoa Beach. Whether you come solo\, with a friend\, or as a family\, you’ll enjoy a relaxing and welcoming space where creativity flows freely. \nIn this 2-hour session\, each participant will create two unique Ocean Whisperers pieces to take home: \nA Decoupage Shell Pendant – a wearable keepsake inspired by the sea.\nA Decoupage Shell Dish – a charming little vessel for jewellery\, trinkets\, or special mementos. \nNo experience is needed—just a willingness to have fun and get creative! The workshop is designed to encourage self-expression\, connection with nature\, and a sense of accomplishment in a warm and supportive environment. While it’s a wonderful activity for parents and children to enjoy side-by-side\, it’s equally suited for anyone looking for a calming creative outlet. Teens\, couples\, friends\, and individuals are all welcome. \nMonica is a member of The Incubator’s Artist Window Gallery collective of artists and has artwork for sale in the gallery – “My love for nature has inspired me to create these jewellery trays using decoupage on natural seashells washed ashore on local beaches.” Her workshop has been designed for small groups of people who would like to experience a relaxing time while letting their artistic side take over. This is a great activity for a group of friends or team building. \nCheck out Monica’s socials – @naturesartnz \nFind out more
