Once again, the Whanganui Women's Network and Space Studio and Gallery have teamed up to bring the Winter Wonderfest to town.
Started as a sister event to the summer La Fiesta Programme, Winter Wonderfest, facilitated by Carla Donson and Sarah Williams, is intended to bring winter cheer while raising much-needed
funds for the Women's Network.
The festival will be launched with the Fresh Start group exhibition featuring a "brilliant lineup of artists" at Space exhibition opening at Space Gallery on Saturday, August 18, followed by music from Tai Uru upstairs from the gallery.
Tai Uru are duo Leonie Matou and Ora Hohaia who play very appealing indigenous soul music, says Donson.
"They play their own, brilliant original songs and they do some very cool cover versions sung in te reo."
