EVENT: Kōrero Toi | Artist Talk - Sara McIntyre: Kākahi to Kākanui | Saturday 22 Nov 2pm

Join us for the opening rā whakatā of Sara McIntyre: Kākahi to Kākanui. Sara will share kōrero via a cruisy floor talk, going through her iconic imagery from te rohe o Waitaki.

This artist talk will be held in our upstairs gallery, which is currently not wheelchair accessible as access is via our main staircase (we’re whipping up a lift as we speak). The main entrance of the gallery is accessible via a ramp to the right-hand side of the main entrance on Thames Street. Please do let us know if you have any accessibility questions or concerns, so we can accommodate you for this event - please email gallery@waitaki.govt.nz
