Once the 'makers & shakers' of their community, the residents of Sunshine Village are now largely ignored, & relegated to the sidelines of life. But the world is about to find out how car salesmen, hairdressers, farmers & a supposed High Court Judge can be! When the city council decides to end its rates rebate for the elderly, the pen pushers in town hall have no idea what anarchy they are about to unleash. Using the United Nations charter on the rights of self-determination the residents decide to create their own independent Kingdom & teach the wider community a lesson. First they need to stage a revolt to get the council’s attention & they manage to do this with spectacular style that has to be seen to be believed. The resulting chaos & shenanigans draw the attention of the local NZ & international media. Bursting with a cast of wonderfully eccentric & believable characters & crazy shenanigans this play is great fun for the cast & is brilliantly funny entertainment for audiences from start to finish. The Old People Are Revolting! is one show that well deserves to go on your "must see" list.

This, their 7th exhibition, will see 15 members of the 51strong collective coming together to present works spanning a variety of genres – including painting, sculpture, mixed media, photography & printed materials. Coordinators of this year’s exhibition, Erica Stephens & Sophie Watkins say with group diversity, there is something for everyone. “The standard is high but not the prices,” says Sophie. Along with the coordinators, fellow EXIT members Kathleen Arthurs & Amber Davison will curate the exhibition while graphic designer Holly Cowan will produce promotional materials. Other exhibitors showing are Vonda Christensen, Sharon Wrigley, Makiko Smith, Martina Magee, Emanuel Dunn, Fraser Duncan, Eve Kireka, Rin Lundall, Pagan Moon, Pita Kire & Raewyn Paterson. Alongside the high quality exhibition pieces, the upcoming show will also include a ‘cash & carry’ table, which will include smaller works from the artists, ranging in price from $10-$70. The cash & carry concept was borne from the idea of giving both artists & the public the chance to present & purchase works with a more affordable price tag. Formed in 2011, EXIT offers a way for former students to stay connected & provides a vehicle to promote their works. The name EXIT refers to the fact that the artists are ex-EIT, & exhibitions are often named around the word EXIT, EXIST, CO-EXIST & now EXquisIT.

MTG Hawkes Bay, Tennyson St, Napier 10.00am – 5.00pm $10.00 per person (museum entry fee) Lalique (until 2 Oct 2016) As a young man, René Jules Lalique revolutionised jewellery with his opulent Art Nouveau designs. Then at middle age, he shifted his focus to glass & became the most celebrated glass maker of the Art Deco period. Elegant forms, lavish ornamentation, & an enduring love of nature are common threads that run though Lalique’s extensive output spanning more than 6 decades. While his handcrafted jewellery was characterised by sinuous line & a high level of detail, Lalique’s glass vases embody the simplified forms of the modern age, in which the machine was embraced & methods of mass production refined. An exhibition of vases by René Lalique from the Jack C Richards Collection. MTG Hawkes Bay, Tennyson St, Napier 10.00am – 5.00pm $10.00 per adult (museum entry)
