Cutting the Cake at Origin.
Braving the heavy rain, past and present Origin members, locals Kerikeri residents and passing tourists all contributed to the great time that was had at Origin last Sunday.
“It is fantastic to be able to celebrate 30 years of existence, it was nice to get to meet some of the past members and realize the Origin Spirit is still very much alive and kicking!” says collective member Veronique Lautenslager.
The collective is determined to carry on showcasing a wide range of quality work and to support the Kerikeri community.
The anniversary exhibition “Never a dull moment” is extended till May the 8th.
