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

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:Bay of Plenty Symphonia presents Strings Attached
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Bay of Plenty Symphonia\nThaw the icy chill of winter with the warm glow of Bay of Plenty Symphonia’s strings in “Strings Attached” – an exploration of string orchestra repertoire from the sparkling elegance of the Baroque to the distinctive voice of New Zealand composition\, all led by conductor Lara Hall. \nThough less well-known that his Four Seasons\, Vivaldi’s Concertos for Strings RV 156 and 157 burst with the same rhythmic vitality\, expressive lyricism\, and the infectious energy that have made Vivaldi one of classical music’s most enduring favourites. Mozart’s delightful Divertimento in F is full of grace\, wit\, and effortless melodic beauty. Its elegant conversation between the sections of the orchestra offers a glimpse into the composer’s remarkable ability to combine sophistication with pure enjoyment. \nThe Bay of Plenty Symphonia is especially proud to feature a rarely heard female New Zealand composer. Dorothy Freed’s Suite for String Orchestra showcases the expressive richness and versatility of the string ensemble through music of colour\, character\, and lyrical imagination. Her music reminds us of Douglas Lilburn and evokes the New Zealand landscape beuatifully. Rounding off the performance is the ever-popular Ring Around the Moon Suite by David Farquhar\, in an arrangement for string orchestra – a lively and engaging work. \nSwapping her violin for a baton Lara Hall makes a welcome return to the Bay of Plenty Symphonia after appearing as violin soloist with the orchestra in two recent performances. A highly regarded musician known for her expressive artistry and engaging stage presence\, Hall now takes the podium to guide the orchestra through this richly varied programme\, bringing fresh insight and musical vitality to works spanning three centuries. \nDon’t miss this irresistible celebration of the string orchestra! \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Textured Art Painting
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Incubator Creative Hub\nPlay with texture\, explore your creativity and create a beautiful artwork in this vibrant and social Textured Art Painting workshop. \nIn this workshop you’ll explore textured painting\, a technique where paint is mixed and applied in thicker layers to create depth on the canvas.

It’s surprisingly freeing and a lot of fun! \nLaura will guide you step by step\, but there’s plenty of room to experiment and make the piece your own. By the end of the session\, you’ll have your own textured artwork to take home. \nAll art materials and tools provided\, as well as a few snacks and nibble. BYO drink if you’d like🍷🍻 \nIt’s a vibrant and social evening — great to come with friends\, as a couple\, or even on your own if you feel like doing something creative after work.  Important note – Texture can only be white. \nLaura is an Incubator resident artist in the Villa Studios – pop in and say hi! Deeply inspired by the ocean\, Laura’s work reflects the intricate beauty of coral formations and marine ecosystems. Using textured layers\, structural elements and resin\, she creates tactile pieces that evoke the depth and movement found beneath the water’s surface. \nLearn more about Laura and her art on her socials: www.instagram.com/laura.nineville.art \nFind out more
