Kia ora,
The Tape Art Mural was a HUGE success and it couldn't have been possible without the incredible talent of the students involved as well as the Maritime Museum. If you see the students around you should give them a pat on the back or kind words! The other school involved (Western Springs College) based their mural on the 'past' the artists based it on the 'present' and our school focused on the 'future'. The concept was 'what would you take to the future with you?'
This mural will be exhibited in the Maritime Museum and the opening night will be on the evening of March 12th. It is part of the 'White Night' festival. White Night is a city-wide night of the arts which originated in Europe and has spread to cities around the globe, including Cairo, Berlin, Barcelona, Melbourne, to name but a few. The name ‘White Night’ derives from the Parisian event nuit blanche (literally, night white; figuratively, a sleepless night, referring to the fact some venues in the international versions of this event stay open all night!)
White Night was held in New Zealand for the first time in 2011 as part of the Auckland Arts Festival, then again in 2013 and 2015. For more information visit: http://whitenight.
If you want to come have a look during the opening night please do! Thanks for your support throughout the entire process. Greatly appreciated.
Have a fabulous rest of the week!
