Adorning our space
An exhibition by artists Catherine Munro, Charlie Cottingham and Brenda Cottingham
February 11 - March 03
Community Gallery space at Franklin Arts Centre
Step into a celebration of cultural artistry and creative expression with Adorning Our Space, a unique exhibition showcasing the combined talents of emerging artists Brenda Cottingham, Charlie Cottingham, and Catherine Munro.
Through their individual crafts, these artists draw inspiration from Polynesian cultural design elements to reimagine art that transforms and enriches the spaces we call home. From the intricate patterns of Niue to bold reinterpretations of traditional Maori motifs, each piece invites viewers to reflect on the beauty of cultural heritage and its place in our modern lives.


Is your electorate changing?
The Representation Commission is adjusting the electorate boundaries for the next general election. These changes are all about balance, and make sure each electorate has about the same number of people. That way, all New Zealanders are equally represented in Parliament. If we move an electorate boundary, you could end up in a different electorate to the one you’re in now. So we show you what we’re proposing before any changes are made and give you the chance to share your thoughts. Have your say at vote.nz
