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 banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
