SUMMARY:Climate Canvas Comes to Carlton Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Envirohub\nCarlton Gallery is proud to host the finalist exhibition for Climate Canvas\, an art competition run by Envirohub BOP as part of the Climate Action Festival. \nThis year’s theme\, Precious Resources\, invited artists from Tauranga\, the Western Bay of Plenty\, and Rotorua to explore what we often take for granted\, from water\, soil\, and air to the fabric we wear and throw away. The theme also celebrates resources that don’t always get noticed: community\, time\, biodiversity\, and the knowledge passed down through generations\, including mātauranga Māori and kaitiakitanga. \nTen finalists were selected from entries across the region\, working in 2D and 3D on canvas or board. Their work was first shown at The Cargo Shed in Tauranga\, where the community voted for their favourite piece in the People’s Choice award\, alongside judged prizes for first\, second\, and third place. \nNow it’s Katikati’s turn. From 05 October\, Carlton Gallery will host the finalists’ work for four weeks\, giving locals and visitors the chance to see this year’s Climate Canvas entries up close. \n“Art is such a great way to express things that words can’t do alone\,” says Te Ara Dirkse\, Envirohub BOP Project Coordinator. “I started this competition to give people space to really voice how they feel about climate change. It’s such an intense subject\, and so many of us feel downhearted about it. This comp gives people a way to communicate their feelings and get people thinking.” \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Creature Feature Ceramic Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:They’ve been smuggled in under cover of darkness. Local ceramicists have unleashed their most inventive creations at the Pot House – and now they wait. Perched. Watching. Ready to claim a place in your world… or take you into theirs.\nFringe Festival 2026 has become their landing site. Take one home if you dare. Adopt a creature of your very own – before they adopt you\, some are suspiciously cute (probably the most dangerous ones). \nThink of creatures that defy logic—beings that seem born from myth\, mutation\, or distant galaxies. Tentacled forms with too many eyes. Curious hybrids with fins\, claws\, or unexpected limbs. Creatures that might have escaped a laboratory\, drifted up from the ocean floor\, or landed from somewhere far beyond our sky.  \nThis is a celebration of the wonderfully weird\, the oddly beautiful\, and the utterly inventive. The makers have dreamed up truly imaginative creatures that stirs curiosity\, raises an eyebrow\, or lingers in the mind long after you’ve looked away.
