Then and Now: A collection of creativity from Tūrangi
Taupō Museum’s Then and Now exhibition, on until December 3, includes a wide range of work from members of Tūrangi Artworks.
Tūrangi Artworks president Linda Niederberger says the group has three “very established” departments including fibre artists, painters and potters.
Those taking part in the Then and Now exhibition were given a wide scope for interpreting the theme, including ideas like upcycling, which would include a before photograph, a member’s first piece of work and what they can achieve now, or taking a historic piece and interpreting it in a modern way.
The exhibition will be open until December 3.
