Painting in Pastels – opening 13 August 6.30 pm

Exhibition opening with drinks and nibbles! Thursday 13th August 2020 6.30 – 8.00 pm at Kāpiti Gallery, 192 Matai Road, Raumati Beach.

The members of the Kāpiti Arts & Crafts Society’s Pastel Group would love it if you could make it along to the opening of our annual exhibition on Thursday evening. This is a rare opportunity to see the versatility and bright colours of the pastel medium.

If you can’t get to the Opening, please drop in to the Gallery on Thursdays through Sundays until September 6th, 10.00 am to 3.00 pm.

The Kapiti Woodworkers’ Guild will also have a wonderful display of their woodturning and woodcraft.

Kāpiti Gallery re-opens

Kāpiti Gallery is re-opening on Thursday 11th June. Our “A Song in Art” exhibition was cut short by the lockdown, so it’s continuing until Sunday 21st June. Winter opening hours are 10.00 am to 3.00 pm.

The next exhibition is “Lockdown 2020”, opening on Thursday 25th June for all Groups’ members to display work done during the lockdown period.

“Drip, Dribble and Splash” begins in July, and the revised programme for the rest of the year is on the Gallery page.

It’s great to be getting back to normal! We look forward to seeing you.2020-06-a-song-in-art-exhibition.jpg

 

We’re still here – from home

Kapiti Arts and Crafts Society Shop, workrooms and Kapiti Gallery closure

In the interests of our members and the general public, Kāpiti Gallery and our workrooms at 192 Matai Road will also be closed in the meantime, and we have decided to close our arts and crafts shop at 20 Raumati Road for at least the next 4 weeks.

As soon as we’re “open for business” again, we’ll let you know!

Many of our shop’s volunteer minders are seniors, and with other society members compromised health-wise, we do not have the numbers to keep the shop open just now. (We thank all who have worked in the past week and all have said they were happy with the precautions we put in place.

We wish our valued Shop customers and Gallery visitors good health and hope you remain in good spirits.

Keep in touch with us and each other via Facebook – share photos and updates of your art and craft projects https://www.facebook.com/kapitiartsandcrafts
