The Art Village - A Curious Encampment

This year we have 'cooked-up' a curious, beautiful and thought provoking arts programme for you.

We have brought together more than 30 artists to produce creative concepts and ideas.
These artworks and installations take an assortment of shapes and forms and are scattered around Tapapakanga for you to discover.

We hope the many ‘tastes’ of this visual arts feast - infused with the natural park environment, the history of the site and the spirit of the Splore08 festival - will nourish your senses!

SPLORE 08 contributing Artists include Emily Siddell, Katy Wallace, Brydee Rood, Louise Purvis, Miranda Brown, Ani O’Neill and the Pacific Sisters with the Lil’ Mamas Art Klub (Suzanne Tamaki, Fiona Wall, Vea Mafileo, Emily Mafileo, Meyer Peyroux, Maila Urale, Ahilapalapa Rands, Samantha Atasani, Doryne Milo, Mele Uhamaka, Paula Shaauffhausen), Chris Charteris, Jill Sorensen, Evan Woodruffe, Kim Newall, Rona Ngahuia Osborne, Tracey Tawhiao, Chris Wilkey, Cut Collective, John Munro, Matt Robinson, Tim Elkington, Andy Neverman, Sarah Dutt, Paul Paton, Bruce Sale, Peter Stoneham, Paulus McKinnon, Mike Gibson, Iona Matheson, Kobi Beck, Rotor +, Leon Tan and Emily Garden…
