Hello

What's On June 2013

It's the rise of Matariki which heralds the Māori New Year and the winter solstice is only 9 days away. Goodness gracious, where have the months gone?

May was so mild with the highlight being that lovely snowfall. There is nothing quite as magical as looking out the window first thing in the morning to that quiet whiteness. Then came the rain which made for the wettest June in Central for many years.

We have been busy getting ready to promote the next Central Otago Art Awards which we have re-named the Arts Gold Awards. We will be calling for entries from 20th June and artists will have 3 months to get their artworks ready before the entry deadline on 20th September. We have amazing judges for the competition - Cam McCracken, the Director of the Dunedin Public Art Gallery and Felicity Milburn, curator from the Christchurch Art Gallery. They will both be there for the opening of the Arts Gold Awards on 25th October 2013.

We have also been hard at work with CODC revamping the Central Otago Arts Strategy. This policy document was created in 2008 and now it is time for it to be brought up to speed with today’s world. If you are interested in checking out the draft click here to view it online or email Rebecca McElrea Rebecca.McElrea@codc.govt.nz and she will send you a copy. It is available for public submissions until 19th July.

Meanwhile, all around the region good things are happening; try some of this mixed bag of events. There is orchestra, singing, a fine young pianist, art and a whole lot more to make the long nights of winter much more endurable. Queenstown’s Winter Festival is nearly here too, with all the amazing events it brings to celebrate winter in our region. Check the listings below to see what’s in store.

Warm regards

Maxine
