- By the Howick Art Group
Many of you will no doubt have been along Cook Street in Howick and noticed the historic Green Gables Cottage situated on Hawthornden Reserve.
You may also be aware that this is the home of the Howick Art Group.
What you may not know is the Howick Art Group is entering its 60th year of existence, having been established in 1965 with a membership of 50.
Today, the Art Group has a steadily growing membership who not only exhibit at the Green Gables Cottage gallery but contribute and participate in demonstrations and workshops the club holds monthly (every fourth Wednesday) at Fencible Lounge, Howick.
Members of the public who may be interested are welcome to attend.
The Howick Art Group committee has been very encouraged by the community support we’ve received from our recent “Have-a-Go” popup.
Our next community Have-a-Go event is on Saturday July 20, in the Howick War Memorial Hall building in Picton Street.
The Howick Village Market will be under way as well.
It’s fully booked but we’re taking names for the waiting list in the event we have a cancellation and for another event planned for late November.
Please email howickartgroup@gmail.com if interested.
We thank Creative Communities NZ for its support in enabling the Howick Art Group to offer the Have-a-Go pop-up events.
The Howick Art Group remains committed to their long history of contribution to the culture, identity and uniqueness of Howick.
We welcome, encourage and embrace creative participation.
