Railway Street Gallery + Studios
Still in our Nature
Four interpretations of the natural world.
4 Intaglio Printmakers 
4 Interpretations of the Natural World

ArtSelect Gallery
Alicja Gear Solo Exhibition
These scenes are impressions of mere moments. Moments in which the breath is released, and we are present. Our demanding lives fall away as we observe the play of light on the water, the changing colours in the clouds and awe at the wonder of our beautiful world.

Sanderson
Ray Haydon - Endurance
Haydon is an artist and sculptor with a career spanning more than twenty years. Responding intuitively to space, the artist creates works of refinement and precision. His pieces retain a lyricism and freedom of line that evoke a sense of movement and velocity.

The Poi Room
Paula Coulthard - Eclipse
An exhibition in three parts; an eclipse of Moths, Dark Eclipse and Light Eclipse.
Three stylistically different bodies of work all riff on the same themes, an obscuring of the light from one celestial body by the passage of another and the collective noun for a gathering of moths.

Large scale art work mural in Newmarket
Te Ramaroa Mural by Te Whētū  Collective in Newmarket, between Wilson carpark and Broadway / Station Square.
This piece is inspired by the pūrakau of Uepoto, who epitomises the fruits of being curious and following the light at times most dark.
