Freelance artist and graphic designer Lianne Adams brings her unique, bespoke pieces to Taupō Museum, melding together strands of computer-based design and traditional art.

Our Garden of Earthly Delightscelebrates small parts of our amazing country, Aotearoa, New Zealand and the connection we have with it. The more often we see things around us, even the beautiful and stunning things, the more they become invisible to us. Consequently, we often take for granted the beauty of this world, the ocean, the trees, the birds, and the clouds - even those we love. Because we see things so often, we see them less and less.

Poll: Do you think a set of lights at the intersection of Norman Smith St, and the Thermal Explorer Highway, is a good idea?

Nicola Brennan-Tupara Reporter from Taupō Times

Hi neighbours,
The green light has been given to a set of traffic lights on a main route in to Taupō's CBD.
But local Paul Henson says the lights are a bad, expensive idea when a small rubber roundabout could be the solution.

From Warkworth to Wigmore Hall, New Zealand star baritone Julien Van Mellaerts and South African pianist James Baillieu take you on a journey of the song from Schubert, Ravel and Vaughan Williams, to a world premiere setting of iconic NZ birds by Gareth Farr.

This journey through the world of art song and Lieder probes the human psyche with an intensity no other genre, not even opera, is permitted. Unhinged. Gruelling. Hallucinatory. Joyful. Beautiful. This ranks as the most searing experience any music lover can undergo.

Julien Van Mellaerts & James Baillieu: touring NZ 10-16 April

*Please note a change of location - we're now meeting in the carpark outside the Hole in One Challenge on Lake Terrace at 9am on Saturday, April 13.

Join our team as we celebrate the 49th International Earth Day with a lakefront clean-up!

We’ll be focusing on collecting all the little bits of rubbish that can be so damaging to our lake’s ecosystem – things like cigarette butts, small plastic wrappers and other micro plastics. These little things may not look bad but they can do more harm than larger pieces of rubbish.

All supplies are provided – just bring along some water and wear closed toe shoes.

See you there!

Steph Rangi Reporter from Taupō Times

Taupō artist Connie Takarangi is launching an exhibition full of colour and recycled objects, textiles, paper and more at Taupō Museum next weekend.

The exhibition, Colour My Autumn, has been a labour of love for Takarangi, who regards autumn as the most beautiful time of year. She was born and bred in Turangi before moving to Wellington and then London, before returning home. She said the beautiful colours of Turangi in autumn influenced her love of the season.

“For as long as I can remember I have had a fascination of autumn and its changing elements,” she said.

She said Colour My Autumn brought together elements that embraced her passion for reusing, recycling, repurposing and rethinking.

Colour My Autumn runs from April 6 to May 13 at Taupō Museum. Taupō District residents and children can visit free of charge.

Takarangi is also holding school holiday workshops during the upcoming school holidays with funding from Creative Taupō and the Creative Communities Scheme. See the Taupō Library and Museum school holiday programme for more information.
