Artist Gina Kiel said:
"My piece is inspired by the original name of the central Masterton - Whakaoriori - After learning about this I was immediately inspired, as a mother, I myself
have sat with my baby and listened to the birds while singing him to sleep. I feel a great sense of calm every time I visit the Wairarapa, I have visited with
my son many times and I feel honoured to create art here in this central area of Masterton which has much meaning."
Local students were also down on site having a workshop in “graffiti art”

Working with habitat design experts, we’ve incorporated more climbing structures, hammocks and ropes than ever! These features aim to improve the Chimps wellbeing and encourage natural behaviours through environmental complexity.
There’s also a new immersive glass viewing area to help people connect with the Chimps and a new children’s playground, inspired by Chimps and how they play. Come to hang with the Chimps at Wellington Zoo for the grand opening of the Chimp Park and learn how you can make a difference to Chimpanzees in the wild.

Aratoi Director Susanna Shadbolt says the sponsorship solidifies an already strong partnership between the two Masterton based establishments and the funding will be put towards general operational costs, staging exhibitions and into Aratoi’s popular Education Programmes.
“Tranzit has long been a wonderful partner transporting students to and from Aratoi to attend our Education Programmes and to attend our regular exhibitions,” she says.
“This sponsorship deal, which is for the next three years, will enable our hard-working team to continue to stage exhibitions and to deliver high quality education programmes that give Wairarapa students the chance to connect with the past, present and future through stories, taonga and unique learning experiences.”
Ms Shadbolt says many education programmes are linked to major exhibitions such as Wairarapa Moana, which had 70 artworks by students in the main foyer called "Teeming Tuna" and Te Marae o Rongotaketake, which saw 3,000 students attend over a four-month period.
Tranzit’s Director of Sales and Marketing Jenna Snelgrove is proud to support Aratoi and says the sponsorship makes perfect sense.
"We are proud to support another long-standing local establishment and in particular, one that provides creative Education Programmes that benefit the whole community,” she says.
