Our new home is at 77 Trafalgar St: Refinery ArtSpace
We’ve moved in!
This morning we had a special ribbon cutting and blessing for Tāwera. We couldn’t be more proud of the new galleries, and we can’t wait for the first exhibition to really show off the spaces – that will be Ordinary Wonders, presented with Hikitia RISE: Respect Inspire Support Empower from 15 August – 16 September.
Our new home is at 77 Trafalgar St (near the new bus hub) – come and see us after 15 August!
Massive thanks to Nelson City Council for supporting us in the new adventure, by providing this new gallery, workshop and office spaces. The transition has been years in the planning, guided by our governing body, Te Tai-o-Aorere Arts Development Trust.
In recent years, a new arts and creativity strategy for the city, He Tātai Whetū, identified the need for an independent arts development agency to advocate for, champion, connect, and support the wide range of organisations, community groups, artists, and audiences that make up our creative sector.
Our new name Tāwera comes from Venus, the morning star that burns on the horizon.
Hiwa is the new name of Arts Council Nelson, as part of the transition into its new role as Nelson’s arts development agency. Tāwera is the name of the new art space at Millers Acre, with exhibition, workshop and office spaces.
Thanks to NCC for the photos.
