Village Arts gallery is opening its doors to the New Zealand art public for this important exhibition, which presents a unique opportunity to show an influential work by one of Hokianga's most celebrated Maori artists.This will be the first time that any of Hotere's work has been exhibited in his turangawaewae (place of birth) and this has great significance for the Hokianga.
