- WAIKUKU
ARTISTS INC (W.A.I): has 24 Artist
Members all living in beautiful Waikuku, New Zealand.
- W.A.I
(Waikuku Artists Incorporated ) formed in 2004 with a group
of local artists, professional & emerging, working in a
range of media - painting, photography, sculpture, jewellery,
glass & textile. We began as a group with a common interest
& a love of Waikuku which led us to hold our first exhibition
in 2005. Now every 3rd weekend in February W.A.I holds their
annual Art Exhibition in the community hall which is putting
Waikuku on the map as quite an arty settlement!
This year, W.A.I's 3rd annual Art Exhibition attracted approximately
3000 visitors taking in the local art.
Opening night had a great atmosphere with a jazz duo enertaining
the crowd and well known artist & winemaker Michael Eaton
officially opening the exhibition.
Twenty six artists exhibited in a variety of mediums showing
their unique take on the theme "River To River, Shore To
Mountain". It's so exciting to see it all come together
with everyones unique style & judging by the positive comments
it is certainly appreciated by the many visitors to the exhibition.
This exhibition was made possible by the generosity of The Creative
Communities Grant Scheme, and The Visit Waimakariri Promotions
Advisory Board, as well as generous sponsorship from Waipara
Downs Winery for our opening event. W.A.I is also very grateful
to the ongoing support of our local sponsors.
As a group, we are all passionate about Waikuku & find it
a very inspiring place to live.We look forward to sharing our
art with you at our next exhibition on the 16th & 17th February
2008.
