Art in the Park hits Eden Park stadium
Auckland's Eden Park stadium will host 100 artists in its debut showcase Art in the Park in July.
Painters, sculptors, photographers and print makers will meet members of the community from July 23 to July 25.
Art in the Park, in association with Auckland Unlimited, is part of the Elemental Auckland festival- a program of arts, eats, and beats.
Visitors can meet individual artists, learn about their work, see them create, and take home the art which inspires them the most.
The event will champion the next generation of artists by showcasing some students from Elam School of Fine Arts and emerging professional artists.
Designed by directors Cary Cochrane and Sofija Matich, Art in the Park aims to bring communities together through art that enriches cultures.
"This show offers a new platform for New Zealand artists and a new opportunity to support the creative industries in New Zealand," Matich said.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
