Taupō Museum is proud to present Inclusive, an exhibition opening on 6 September that celebrates creativity, community, and the boundless possibilities of art.

With roots dating back to the 1960s, Tūrangi ArtWorks Incorporated has grown into a vibrant and diverse collective of approximately 70 members. From beginners finding their creative voice to experienced artists refining their craft, they welcome all who wish to express themselves through art.

Working across a wide range of mediums, Tūrangi ArtWorks Inc. disciplines include fibre arts (embroidery, quilting, spinning, and weaving, knitting and crochet), mixed media, painting, pottery, printmaking, and glass art. This breadth of creativity is united by the shared belief that art should be inclusive and accessible - a space where all abilities, backgrounds, and perspectives are valued.

The Inclusive exhibition embodies this ethos. Alongside individual works, visitors will also see pieces created in recent workshops highlighting the joy, learning, and diversity that emerge when artists of all skill levels come together.

Inclusive is more than an exhibition - it’s an invitation to see what is possible when art welcomes everyone.

Inclusive runs at Taupō Museum from 6 September to 20 October. The museum is open from 10am to 4.30pm daily and entry is free for Taupō District residents with proof of address.
