SUMMARY:Artful Mind
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: The Incubator Creative Hub\nThe project pairs local artists with people living on the dementia journey. Artists spend time listening to their stories\, learning about their lives\, memories\, passions and experiences\, and then interpret those stories through their own artistic practice. \nThe resulting artworks provide a unique opportunity for the community to see beyond a diagnosis and connect with the person\, their story and their identity. \nThe local artists involved in this year’s exhibition are:\nBronwyn Copeland\nSteph Harlan\nAnne Shirley\nLynette Fisher\nJayna Caudwell\nLaura Penny \nDementia affects individuals\, families and communities across Aotearoa New Zealand. As awareness and understanding become increasingly important\, Artful Mind provides a creative way to challenge misconceptions and reduce the stigma surrounding dementia. \nThe exhibition aims to remind us that dementia does not define a person. People living with dementia continue to have stories\, experiences\, relationships\, personalities and things that matter deeply to them. \nThrough Artful Mind\, participants have the opportunity to:\n– Share their stories and have their experiences represented through art\n– Celebrate their identity and individuality\n– Connect with and inspire local artists\n– Have their voices and stories heard in a meaningful way\n\nThe artists and wider community have the opportunity to:\n– Develop a deeper understanding of the lived experience of dementia\n– Challenge stereotypes and reduce stigma\n– See the person beyond the diagnosis\n– Build greater empathy\, connection and understanding \nArtful Mind is more than an exhibition. It is an invitation to look beyond dementia\, discover the stories behind the artwork\, and see the person who is still there. \nArt has a way of finding what memory leaves behind. \nSponsored by Gate Pa New World This exhibition launch preview is Friday 25th September – 5.30pm at The Incubator Creative Hub\, The Historic Village\, 17th Ave\, Tauranga. Licensed Bar onsite\, and everyone is welcome. \nOn display at The Peoples Gallery from the 26th of September to the 17th of October 10am to 3pm. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Artful Wāhine - Tauranga Girls' College Exhibition 2026
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: The Incubator Creative Hub\nArtful Wāhine is an exhibition run by Tauranga Girls’ College art Department. The Exhibition is open to all ākonga and they can create an artwork of their own choosing or submit something they have created at school. It gives ākonga the opportunity to exhibit publicly and perhaps sell their work. It takes courage to show your artwork in a public setting and through this experience ākonga can build their confidence in their own artistic ability. \nThis exhibition is about participation and the opportunity to display their artwork in a safe and supportive environment. The secondary school has a wide range of interests\, which is reflected in the work that is represented in the exhibition. \nThis event not only celebrates the students’ creativity but also provides a platform for the community to support and inspire the budding artists of tomorrow. The students will be on site during the weekends so drop by and give them some encouragement. \nSponsored by Gate Pa New World. \nThis exhibition launch preview is Friday 28th August – 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 29th August to the 1st of August to the 19th of September\, 10am – 3pm. \nFind out more

DESCRIPTION:Presented by: The Incubator Creative Hub\nŌtūmoetai College is proud to present its Junior Art Exhibition\, featuring work by Year 9 and 10 students\, supported by The Incubator Creative Hub for the sixth-year running. \nWe believe it’s vital for students to have their work seen beyond the school gates – and The People’s Gallery Toi Ka Rere; offers the perfect public platform. Friends\, whānau\, and the wider community can easily access this remarkable mahi. \nThe students themselves take turns looking after the gallery in pairs over the weekends. In doing so\, they develop real-world skills – learning to talk confidently about their work\, engage with visitors\, and build self-awareness and entrepreneurial spirit. 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
