Family Fun Day 15 February
I'm getting very excited as the day of the Burster Flipper Wobbler Dripper Spinner Stacker Shaker Maker exhibition opening draws near.
We've got some great things planned and here's a sneak preview of one of the activities. Spin Art involves highly sophisticated equipment and know how...
Notes
Lovely Lines
Last night was the first peformance of the dance response to our Shifting Lines exhibition and it was awesome! The dancers got a standing ovation for the beautiful interpretation of the art works. And there's another performance tonight!

Seeing Things

Ralph Hotere (Te Aupōuri), ONZ
Join us in commemorating the first anniversary of one of New Zealand's most significant and acclaimed artists. We are screening the film Hotere produced and directed by the late Merata Mita at Alice Cinematheque on Monday 24 February at 6 pm to remember a great artist and a humble, gentle, and spiritual man with a deep respect and love of people.
Moe mai e te rangitira, moe mai

Movie Palace Meets Art
The curtain has just come down on the films we've been showing at Alice Cinematheque – only temporarily I'm pleased to say, until next month when our next series of films start.
Notes
Sticky Fingers
Take some paper squares, some glue, and sparkly bits, add a child and see the creativity flow.
Notes
Christchurch in the Mist
Not even dark, cold, grey weather on Sunday could deter the citizens of Christchurch coming out to hear art historian John Wilson as he walked and talked among the magnificent Reconstruction panels on Worcester Boulevard.
