Find your new favourite artworks online

The Team from Resene ColorShop New Plymouth

For the first time in its history, this year will see the Auckland Art Fair go online.

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.

Take one plain wooden dining chair and make it a stand-alone statement piece with two Resene colours. You don’t always need a full set of dining chairs; they can be statement pieces all on their own!

You could use a chair like this in a home office, as a plant stand, or as a bedside table for your books and lamp. Painting one chair is an easy way to inject a bit of colour into a room too.

Make the most of this weekend with this easy step by step project idea from Resene.

Find the ICON near your bubble and WIN!

While we went back to work today, we know many of you are still confined to your bubbles, so our crew were keen to do something fun for those in their own neighbourhoods.

We've planted ICON logos near our homes for you to hunt out on your daily walks (see example below). If you find one, take a photo of yourself with it for proof and DM it to us (via facebook - Icon Construction + Renovation). If you're first, you'll win a $25 voucher for SOS Cafe to support a local establishment of your choice.

We've hidden them (sort of) near parks, beaches, places of activity or carparks, mainly, in the following suburbs;

▪️East End
▪️Vogeltown
▪️Frankleigh Park
▪️Westown
▪️Ngamotu
▪️Highlands Park and
▪️Inglewood (High School end)

We'll release a clue a day for each different spot - unless someone finds it first, of course. If you know someone in one of the neighbourhoods above, let them know! Happy hunting. 👀✌️
