A collaboration between the Taranaki, Manawatū and Whanganui regions has led to a new arts trail, and a world-first gallery camper.
The Coastal Arts Trail is an easy, self-driving, art-lovers tour across the lower West Coast of the North Island. It features over 50 stops, taking visitors through a mix of public art, street art, galleries and museums, as well as off-the-beaten-track studios and creative rural communities.
The new trail launched with the creation of a world-first gallery camper.
The camper is an art-immersive campervan, purpose built and designed for the trail, and it will be available for public booking once it has been named.
Venture Taranaki chief executive says Justine Gilliland says the team is excited to see the Gallery-Camper come to life.
