Upstairs at 98 Victoria Ave in Whanganui is a light-filled, co-working and collaboration space named Hive & Co.
Mainstreet's Kelly Scarrow has chosen the space above Frank Bar & Eatery to host a planning meeting for 2018 Artists Open Studios this Thursday evening.
More than 70 artists from the Whanganui region participated in this year's event and Ms Scarrow said she anticipates larger numbers for next year.
As Mainstreet marketing and promotions manager, Ms Scarrow has taken over the role of managing Artists Open Studios from Space Gallery owner Sarah Williams.
"I have only been in this role for four weeks but Sarah and the Open Studios Trust have done such good work, I have everything I need to follow a clear path.
