Rural Artist Graham Christensen's Open Studio: This Weekend Only

Natasha from Ashhurst - Pohangina

Ashhurst artist Graham Christensen will be opening his private studio to the public over the weekend of the 15th and 16th of October as part of the Art Trail Manawatu.

Having spent much of his life farming in and around the region, Graham’s paintings capture rural life and moments in time that make up the rich tapestry of our farming community. He lives on a farm on Glenburn Road and paints from a large, light-filled studio – a converted room at the back of the barn.

Whilst he did not pick up an artist’s brush until his early 60’s Graham quickly showed a natural talent with oils and a great affinity with the rural landscape, quickly leading to him becoming a highly recognised artist within the region.

To find out more about the Art Trail Manawatu, including our other talented local artists taking part please see www.communityarts.org.nz... You can visit Graham as part of the Art Trail, or drop in to his open studio independently on the 15th and 16th of October, 10am – 4pm.

Address: 84 Glenburn Road (turn off Napier Rd, opposite Greenhaugh Gardens). There is good access (no need for gumboots!) and plenty of parking. For more info see www.grahamchristensen.co.nz...

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
