Heather Kremen is a local artist who recognises the importance of having her work on display after winning the Toi Ohomai Innovation in Art Award with her work Protected in the Night at the 2019 Rotorua Museum Art Awards.
"I have been blown away at the variety and skill of artists in this area.
"An exhibition that showcases what can be done with time, imagination and skilled hands is something that I would look forward to seeing."
"I know from my own life what an inspiration it can be to see art produced by your friends, whānau, and neighbours.
"As an artist, I appreciate every opportunity to show off my chosen craft – glass – to the community of passionate and driven artists, artisans, and creatives here in Rotorua."

The Bay of Plenty Artists Exhibition will open with a private preview for artists and guests on November 7, then the exhibition will be open to the public from November 8 to December 12, 10am to 4pm.
All commission proceeds from the sale of works will go to The Friends of the Museum for acquisition of new works or for funding Rotorua Museum special projects.
In the past The Friends have been involved with projects to reframe works, provide new protective covers for textiles, and will soon commission two heritage-style lights for the museum foyer.
