Grant Hughes
20 July - 19 August
After the rain - Waioeka Gorge - Grant Hughes
Grant Hughes was born in Gisborne and has been painting since he was nine years old and sold his first painting when he was only 12 years old. He was very involved in the local artist groups in Gisborne before travelling around many countries in his late teens and early twenties. He came back to settle in Gisborne because of the beauty of the area which inspires him to paint.
About a year ago Grant gave up full time work to pursue his passion for painting in the winter and a part time business in the summer months.

Pacific Pattern - Glen Jowitt
27 July - 22 August
Pacific Pattern is a stunning new exhibition of works by renowned New Zealand photographer Glenn Jowitt.
Celebrating the vitality of fibre arts in the pacific, these vibrant images explore the manufacture and use of textiles in traditional and contemporary costume, ceremonies and architecture.
Developed in conjunction with a lavish book published by Thames & Hudson, the 32 works featured in the exhibition represent Jowitt’s extensive photographic studies of the Cook Islands, Samoa, Tonga, Vanuatu, Niue, Tahiti, New Calendonia, the Solomon Islands, Fiji, Hawaii, Papua New Guinea, Rapanui and New Zealand cultures.
The rich imagery ranges from groups of women sitting in the afternoon sun weaving lush coconut palms into sun hats, young men showing off their spectacular tattooed torsos and Miss Samoa parading in a contemporary tapa gown!
