Group 55 Te Puna – ‘Diversity’

Opening in December is a group exhibition by a talented collection of Te Puna artists from.

In 2002 Mary began teaching ten students, to raise funds in recognition for the care given by Waipuna Hospice to her late husband. She no longer teaches, but for the past six years artists have come every Wednesday night to her studio based in Te Puna to paint, share ideas and have fun.

The group had to find a title to show under so the title ‘Group 55’ was chosen. 55 is the number of Mary’s home and studio, and not, as one reporter thought, because the group were all aged over 55!

This is their 4th major exhibition and will showcase 12 artists. The exhibition runs from December 1-12 at the Creative Tauranga Gallery on Wharf Street.
