An Otago community board member is urging her community not to nark on their neighbours during these ''very strange times''.

Geraldine Tait wrote a column for the local newsletter, POWA (Progress of Waikouaiti Area), which has upset some residents.

However she defended her 'Don't nark on your neighbours' column, written late last month as tensions in the Otago community increased during Alert Level 4 lockdown requirements.

Read more about Geraldine's column here and tell us what you think about her comments below. Do you agree that we shouldn't 'nark on our neighbours' or do we need to watch out for those breaching the lockdown rules?

From 11am NZST on Thursday 30 April until Sunday 17 May, Artfair.co.nz will be hosting a Virtual Art Fair where you will discover more than 30 galleries from New Zealand and Australia displaying works that would have otherwise been seen at the 2020 Auckland Art Fair.

The Virtual Art Fair is in recognition of the artists who have already made special works for the Auckland Art Fair that couldn’t happen, and the galleries who have supported them in doing so.

“It comes at a time of global uncertainty, when the importance of art, community and culture are especially apparent,” their team said in a recent statement.

The Auckland Art Fair is designed to be “a celebration – as best we can – of the talent and diversity of art making by artists from our region; not only across New Zealand and Australia, but also around the wider Pacific-rim. We hope that, wherever possible, some of these artists and galleries will be supported by someone buying a work of art.”

Browse, look, enquire and consider as you get to know new galleries and artists in support of contemporary culture at a time when the artists and galleries really need it.
