No.1 Gallery, Rawene
This gallery will be closing on Sunday 17th April
4pm. Over the last three-and-a-half months the
gallery has been successfully run by a steering
group and volunteers. We are very appreciative
of the great support we have received from our
local communities, friends and travellers and the
wonderful opportunity given to us by the
owners, Lynn and Linda, to showcase artists
work in such a grand building. We do intend to
continue our support of the arts and artists in
Hokianga and will keep you posted.
