New Plymouth, Taranaki

Welcome to Pride of Place.

August 23 - September 22

The kaupapa: We love Taranaki, it's an amazing place to live and play. Many of our local creatives are inspired by our beautiful region, and want to give back to those doing the mahi that matters locally.

The physical event is a group art show, with a third of art sales going straight back to local mental health charities: Rural Support Taranaki, Horses Helping Humans Taranaki, Taranaki Retreat and Building Wellness Taranaki. The funds will be used to help those who need it in our community, including farmers, young people, those in the construction sectors and people just needing a break.

Come grab a coffee and check out the show!
