Graffiato to be celebrated at Taupō Museum
The Graffiato street art festival celebrates its 10-year anniversary this year, with a special one-off exhibition.
The exhibition, Graffiato – 10 Years of Street Art, explores stories including the origins of the event, developments within the world of street art and the artists who have contributed to the collection of some 120 murals in Taupō, alongside artworks by some of those artists for sale.
Exhibitions officer Kerence Stephen is delighted to partner with the Town Centre Taupō and Graffiato teams to recognise the decade of artwork.
“The Graffiato event is a unique and a fun part of our Taupō landscape and the museum is excited to host this exhibition in our galleries, she said.
Artists exhibiting include; D-Side, Gwil Yelz, Erin Forsyth, City, Component, Enforce 1, Swift Mantis, Toby Jenkins, Benjamin Work, Margarita Vovna, Freak, Flox, Beck Wheeler and TrustMe.
The exhibition is in the main gallery from September 26 – November 2.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
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.
