As the days get shorter and colder it’s a great opportunity to come in and visit us.
The galleries are full of stunning art and its warm inside. Just a reminder that our exhibitions change every two to four weeks and our retail space always has something new to offer.
From June 2 to 15, Creative Arts Napier is hosting the Hawke’s Bay Art Guide Exhibition, showcasing more than 75 artists from this year’s newly released Art Guide.
The exhibition had a wonderful and very busy opening event and for me personally, it was great to catch up with so many artists I hadn’t seen for a long time.

We are pleased to introduce Sue Robertson with her exhibition Sea Moods installed in our foyer this month. The Hawke’s Bay local is a self-taught artist who works from her home studio. She works with a variety of mediums including watercolours, pencils and acrylics to create her beautiful seascapes.
As you settle in for winter check out Sue Robertson’s Sea Moods exhibition at the CAN Gallery this month.
Robertson says: “This water exhibition is inspired by having sailed for over 22 years. Water is never the same, it moves and changes colour to suit itself. Each of these paintings is focused on water moods, from calm to severe. Having been on it, in it and seen its many changes, over the years it has always fascinated me.”
Her work can be viewed and purchased from now till June 30.
