Art has the power to transcend time and space, allowing us to glimpse into the depths of the human experience both past, future and present. Roly Hermans, is a Kapiti based painter who creates work that is inspired by the artwork that graced the boxes of the plastic model kitsets he used to buy as a child. He still makes models, and brings his modelling skills into his paintings, applying his love of detail and accuracy.
Working with the wonderful volunteers at the Kāpiti Coast Biodiversity Project, Anne and the Biodiversity team devised this idea to tell people about all the incredible native wildlife hidden on the Kāpiti Coast north of Wellington.
From Pukerua Bay to the great expanses of Queen Elizabeth Park through to Whareroa Farm, the not-so-obvious wildlife needed a little promotion to assert themselves in their own environment.

“Ara (path) - Korowai (cloak) - a kaupapa, embracing the path of recovery with a cloak of support.”
Te Ara Korowai Creative Wellbeing Centre in Raumati has been a lifeline for the Kāpiti community, providing essential mental health services for over a decade. However, with the loss of the Manatu Taonga CARE funding (COVID response recovery) from July 1st, they are now in a critical financial situation. With a 75% loss of income, this not-for-profit organisation needs our support to secure its future.

Jane Comben (Pogo Design) has the experience and understanding to achieve what a council and the public seek.
An old friend of Brett Keno (Sculptor) from his school days visited his studio in Otaki during the Kapiti Coast Art Trail and asked if he would consider creating a Chinese Dragon for the Lunar New Year Festival 2024.
