Opotiki District Council has joined forces with Studio One Toi Tu on Ponsonsby Road in Auckland to bring the best of Opotiki art to the streets of Auckland.
The exhibition in July, called The Real Opotiki, will feature artists from Opotiki locals or those with a strong connection to the district.
The exhibition will include nationally recognised artists from the district but there is space set aside for some emerging talents and artists who would like to join.
Opotiki councillors Lyn Riesterer and Shona Browne are part of the volunteer committee working to fundraise for a new Research and Community Centre.
The exhibition would raise the profile and funds for the new centre and also show off Opotiki's vibrancy to Auckland's art community.
