Matariki - Celebrating our unique place in the world
We give respect to the whenua on which we live and admiration to our mother earth, Papatuanuku. Throughout Matariki we learn about those who came before us, our history, our family, our bones. Matariki signals the time of growth, its a time of change, a time to prepare and a time of action. During Matariki we acknowledge what we have and what we have to give. Matariki celebrates the diversity of life, culture, language, spirit and people.
The Academy will be celebrating all of these things with this open exhibition featuring the selected works of artists from around the country and invited guest artists Melissa Young and our own Sue Lund.
Exhibition dates: Saturday 10th July to Sunday 1st August
Academy Galleries are open daily 10am - 5pm. Entry is free.

Alex DiMercurioI'm a Wellington based contemporary artist who is currently looking for national and international gallery representation, and any other opportunities for exhibiting works.
From early beginnings as an art student I've had paintings exhibited at The Dowse gallery - now The New Dowse - in Lower Hutt, 1990.
I've since been exhibiting in various shows and galleries since 2004 and now have paintings in private collections throughout New Zealand, France and Australia. More recently my paintings have featured in several New Zealand publications. My work has also been selected as finalist for a few national Awards.
