Parāoa & Pata

In an age where the world celebrates creativity, artists often find themselves facing financial challenges while pursuing their passion. Parāoa & Pata (Bread & Butter) is a brief exhibition dedicated to supporting our artists and their income. This exhibition aims to highlight the diverse talents of emerging and established artists while providing them with a platform to generate income through the sale of their artwork

We’re showcasing a wide array of artistic styles and mediums, emphasising the diversity of the ngā toi and art. Paintings, sculptures, photography, and mixed media works by artists from various backgrounds are displayed. Each piece is available for purchase, and proceeds go directly to the artist.

By attending and purchasing artwork, visitors directly contribute to the income of artists, helping them sustain their creative careers. This exhibition bridges the gap between art appreciation and financial support, ensuring that art continues to thrive in our society.
