Happy February and welcome back everyone.
It's proving to be a spectacular summer in Auckland (sorry Wellington,
Gisborne and Dunedin…) and there are some excellent reasons
to get out and explore.
I personally recommend a ferry ride to Waiheke and a visit with
the Gows at the Connells Bay Sculpture Park. There is always new
work and It get's better every year.
If you prefer to stick to dry land, you can head south and catch the last days of the Stoneleigh Sculpture exhibition at the Botanical Gardens in Manurewa (finishes 14 February).
Another fine way to spend a summer day (or 3) is SPLORE, the biennial
festival of arts, performance and music staged in the exquisite
Tapakapanga Regional Park south of Auckland from 19 - 21 Feb.
If you've managed to get that far, you may as well continue over
the hills and head for Hamilton where, from 12 February, you can
see I must learn to like myself, a recent survey
of work by Richard Lewer at the Waikato Museum.
Hope to see you in one of the exotic locales above and below this month.
