Upcoming Exhibitions

In an era where digital technologies often overshadow traditional methods, the timeless art of printmaking has struggled to retain its revered status. Our project, “Pressing Matters” seeks to illuminate the intricate craftsmanship and intrinsic value of original printmaking through an immersive educational experience.

A group of local and talented painters meet every Monday at Stanmore Bay Hall to paint together, collaborate, share ideas and socialise. This exhibition is a culmination of their work and a celebration of their year's creativity.

Two artists combine to showcase their watercolour paintings and delicate glass creations.
Gillian and Patricia invite you to enjoy their representations of the colourful moments in a cultivated oasis, an exhibition inspired by the quintessential New Zealand backyard. As a haven for birds and butterflies, bees and flowers, pets and children, the garden is a place of nurture, growth and new beginnings.

With a Masters degree in business, Jane loves being a part-time tutor with Estuary Arts Centre, passing on her knowledge, insights and experiences as well as meeting other artists. “My work has been exhibited at galleries in Wellington and Auckland, and I am VERY proud of recently winning the Premier Award at the Annual Members Merit Awards 2025 at the Estuary Arts Centre in Orewa. This was definitely a career highlight for me.”
