EXHIBITION OPENING In Petone - Hikoikoi Reserve Boatsheds by Stephanie Crisp

Alfred Memelink Artspace Gallery

EXHIBITION OPENING - Hutt River Mouth/Hikoikoi Reserve Boatsheds by Stephanie Crisp.
Artspace Gallery on the Petone Foreshore Sat 29 Sept 1 - 5pm

Please join us this Saturday afternoon, to celebrate the opening of our latest exhibition featuring amazing new artworks by Stephanie Crisp. After a near sell out exhibition last year, Stephanie returns to Artspace Gallery for another exciting solo exhibition. Her work, often described as stunning, is beautifully constructed and balanced and often features her favourite subject to paint - boats and harbours. Stephanie just loves to paint impressions of wonderful boats and harbours and for this exhibition Stephanie has been inspired by the boatsheds which are almost on the gallery's doorstep, the Hutt River Mouth Boatsheds at Hikoikoi Reserve. She has created a lively and colourful collection or paintings that bring this area to life.

Stephanie will be flying up especially for the opening and is looking forward to meet you. We look forward to greeting you while you enjoy refreshments and live jazz in the friendly ambience of Petone's seaside gallery. Music will be provided by Bill Wollerman, jazz pianist extraordinaire and friends.

Enjoy exploring the other five exhibition spaces at our gallery to discover the varied collections of creativity always on show. In addition to regularly changing feature artist exhibitions, Artspace Gallery exhibits all genre of art created by over 300 mostly local and nationwide artists. Visitors regularly comment how wonderfully diverse the collections of local creativity are.

Can you crack Today’s neighbourhood conundrum?

Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

Without a bridle or a saddle, across a thing, I ride a-straddle. And those I ride, by help of me, though almost blind, are made to see. What am I?

✈ Understanding the DMAPS Changes ✈

Plane Sense from Plane Sense

We received this interesting question from a resident who has received the Wellington Airport consultation documents. To answer this question, here's what you should look out for:

🔎*Compare the old vs. new flight paths*:
*Page 7*: Old flight path
*Page 4*: New flight path (however, see more in the comments 👇)

🔎*Check page 2*: It mentions that pilots can request to deviate from the path, but 'occasionally deviating' is very different from being directly under the new path. Previously, lighter turboprop planes flew over, but now DMAPS concentrates jet engine aircraft over suburbs, causing a significant noise increase.

📊*Noise impact*:
*Old*: 54dB (prop planes) - this is what an Airways Report tells us.
*New*: Up to 80dB (jet engines) - actual noise captured by sound monitors in the suburbs (this isn't included in the consultation documentation). And remember, decibels increase exponentially like the Richter scale!

🚨Plus, unlike on the previous flight path, DMAPS means more frequent flights, with smaller gaps between them, and an increase in jet departures means higher noise levels for longer periods over the new path. That's why we're pushing for the DMAPS decision to be *reversed*, reverting to the old flight path - which isn't the same as sending all the jets over another suburb.
