Art helping artists As images and news came through of Hawkes Bay being hit by massive floodwaters and silt about four weeks ago, The Incubator team at Tauranga’s Historic Village could only sit and watch helplessly. They knew that many of the art advocates, festival managers and creatives from community-driven arts hubs that they’d met
in Hastings on their annual team field trip last year would be affected. They knew fellow artists further down the coast would lose their supplies, workshops, studios. Some would even lose loved ones, homes and livelihoods. Now The Incubator has found a creative way to support fellow artists in the Hawkes Bay.
Today, March 17, is the launch of the Hawkes Bay Artist Fundraiser Exhibition at The People’s Gallery at The Historic Village, which runs to April 10. More than 85 artists from Tauranga and afar have responded to a call for donations, gifting more than 200 artworks to the exhibition, including resident artist John Baxter (pictured).
Funds from art sales will be distributed to grassroots Hawkes Bay arts communities and artists to replenish supplies and equipment and to help get them back on their feet to continue their creative mahi (work). Now The Incubator calls on the public to view the exhibition and support the cause! Read more on page 26. Photo: Brydie Thompson.
