Everyone is invited

Taupō Museum latest exhibition Inclusive opens on Saturday, September 6.

It is described as a celebration of “creativity, community, and the boundless possibilities of art”.

With roots dating back to the 1960s, Tūrangi ArtWorks Incorporated has grown into a diverse collective of about 70 members, from beginners finding their creative voice to experienced artists refining their craft.

Working across a wide range of mediums, Tūrangi ArtWorks’ disciplines include fibre arts, mixed media, painting, pottery, printmaking, and glass art.

The breadth of creativity is united by a shared belief that art should be inclusive and accessible - a space where all abilities, backgrounds, and perspectives are valued.

Alongside individual works, visitors will also see pieces created in recent workshops highlighting the joy, learning, and diversity that emerge when artists of all skill levels come together.

Inclusive runs at Taupō Museum until October 20, from 10am-4.30pm daily. Entry is free for Taupō District residents with proof of address.
