This looks like a cool exhibition coming up at Aratoi.
Paul Gadsby’s most recent collection of work, “Takeaways” captures environmental issues and people’s impact on native bird species and their habitat. The large vibrant paintings are showing at Aratoi Wairarapa Museum of Art and History until July 28th.
Takeaways is Gadsby’s first solo exhibition at Aratoi and nicely complements the WAI and WATER\WAY shows that have been drawing busloads of schoolchildren for Aratoi’s free education programme, kindly supported by Masterton Trust Lands Trust and T G Macarthy Trust.
Exhibition opening: Friday 31 May, 5.30pm.
Artist talk: Saturday 1st June 11am.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
