Meet the artists and explore their studios from Tairua to Matarangi on the Coromandel peninsula’s east coast. Rich and eclectic mediums include painting, printmaking, sculpture, jewellery, ceramics, photography, mosaics, and iron-mongering.
A mid-week experience is the Artists in Residence at Hot Waves Café, Hot Water Beach, where you can see the artists at work. Follow us on Facebook or check our website for the Artists in Residence schedule.
The Showcase Exhibition will open on Friday, 1 March at Hot Waves Café, Hot Water Beach with the talented FLOX as keynote speaker. As an aerosol and stencil artist, FLOX has been creating distinctive designs since 2003. Her trademark native birds, ferns and flowers are a celebration of Aotearoa’s environmental taonga. We’re also extremely fortunate to have Sharon O’Brien from The Wharf Gallery Raglan, as the curator of the Showcase Exhibition.
Hot Waves Café will feature the Artists Showcase Exhibition from 2 March until 9 April with one work from each member and group on display.
