Save the first two weekends in March for Art touring in the Coromandel.
Art lovers will relish the Mercury Bay Art Escape to be held over the first two weekends in March (4th-5th and 11th-12th). Come and explore the studios of innovative and talented artists in an area stretching from Tairua to Matarangi in the stunning eastern Coromandel Peninsula.
Over these two weekends, 39 artists open their studios freely to visitors. Many have international profiles and have art inspired by the beautiful Coromandel bush and seascapes. Explore all the artist’s profiles and their creativity on the website. The Art Escape offers the opportunity to view and talk inspiration and art with member artists in their studios and to buy direct. The popular Gala event to open the Mercury Bay Art Escape will be held at Hot Waves Café in Hot Water Beach at 6pm on Friday, 3 March. This year the event features the well-known gardening writer and broadcaster Lynda Hallinan as guest speaker. Tickets to the Gala Opening are available online from the Mercury Bay Art Escape website. Hot Waves café will feature the Artists Showcase Exhibition from 4 March until April 11 with one work from each member and group on display.
