Harbourview Peoples Park, Te Atatu Road, Te Atatu Peninsula
Hospice West Auckland is a non profit organisation providing
specialist palliative care at no cost to terminally ill patients
and their families. Each year, Hospice requires donations to
continue to provide this specialist care. This year, the Te Atatu
Business Association is bringing the community a new Hospice
fundraiser, The Harbourview Sculpture Trail.
The Harbourview Sculpture Trail is a feast of art, featuring 45
unique pieces of work from 35 artists. Each of the pieces on the
trail has been selected for its connection to the rich history of
the local area. There is a mix of different mediums used including
wood, ceramic, glass, metal and water-based art works. Each of the
pieces will be set along the trail across the water, enhancing the
outlook across the Peninsula to the bright lights of the central
city. Alongside these works will be small works and murals from
local schools, providing the trail with a truly community
feel.
A special Hospice West Auckland sculpture created by patients and
families will welcome visitors.
As well as viewing the art, there will be opportunities to learn
more about what is on display. The exhibition's curator, Sally
Lush, will be giving tours which feature talks from selected
artists who will talk more about the meaning behind their piece.
These tours will be held on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays at 11am,
throughout the three weeks of the exhibition. As well as tours and
talks for adults, kids are also encouraged to learn more about the
pieces with fun activity sheets.
Ticket Prices: Adults $10, Children up to the age of 12 are $5 and
under 5s are free. A family pass is available at $30. All proceeds
from the trail are being donated to Hospice West Auckland.
