Calling all artists for cat-themed work

Darren Petry from Taupō District Council

Following the success of the 2018 Dog Show exhibition at Taupō Museum, the hunt is on for cat-themed artworks.

Artists and creative people of all ages are invited to exhibit their cat-themed artworks, sculpture and accessories for the exhibition, which will be called CATalogue.

Exhibitions officer Kerence Stephen said artworks submitted should incorporate recycled materials.

“We’ve already had 20 people sign up to bring their feline creations to life, and we are keen to have more,” she said. “If you love cats and art – this is the exhibition for you!”

Remember to use your imagination and have an element of recycled materials in your cat-like construction.

Register your interest with Kerence via the details below and get creating!

CATalogue will run from July 6 – August 12.

The museum is open seven days from 10am to 4.30pm. Entry is free to children and Taupō District residents with proof of address.

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)
.
