THANK YOU WELLINGTON for keeping Art alive - Your support means the world to us
A massive, huge, ginormous THANK YOU from the bottom of my Heart for Art for helping us keep our business going during the challenging covid days. I’m so thankful for all your support.
It’s been a huge challenge to start a business and an even bigger one to keep it going through lockdowns and restrictions.
It’s thanks to you, our local community, and your continued support for our homegrown business, that we’re still here … and … that we reached the super exciting milestone of our 50th Studio Paint Party on Saturday!! 🥳🎨 We celebrated the occasion with loads of laughter, a new painting and a big, delish chocolate gateau!
My mission for the business has always been to share the joy and healing of art. I never expected to receive so much joy and healing in return, from you all, during that process.
It has been such a pleasure to serve you and help you find your creativity. Between you, you’ve painted 61 Tui, 87 Island Bays, 42 Pencarrow Lighthouses, 44 Wellington by Nights, 38 Oriental Bays and tonnes of others too.
It's so awesome knowing there’s a whole gallery of your paintings on your walls and I feel so blessed you’ve allowed me to be a part of that. You guys are just awesome!
Thank you so much for your ongoing support. I really couldn’t have done it without you. I can't wait to help you create many more masterpieces and share a tonne more art joy.
Here's to the next 50 Paint Parties! 🍾🥂
Bless you all 💖

Solve This Riddle or Be Left Scratching Your Head!
With pointed fangs, I sit and wait;
with piercing force, I crunch out fate.
I grab victims, proclaiming might,
and physically join with a single bite.
What am I?

Celebrating International Volunteer Managers Day
We had a wonderful morning celebrating Te Whanganui-a-Tara volunteer managers at our International Volunteer Managers Day breakfast event.
It was inspiring to bring together local change-makers to discuss this year's theme: 'what's our future normal?' We shared reflections and aspirations for how we can play a role in shaping a stronger and brighter future for the voluntary sector.
Thank you so much to our generous sponsors Lighthouse Cinema, t leaf T, The Candle Shop, Wonderland Chocolate, Zealandia and Oat Cafe.
