Waitakere Artists' Open Studio Weekend

Waitakere's artists will be opening their home studios to the public and joining together in collaborative groups so the public can view their
work on March 1 and 2.

This year over 200 artists are taking part throughout Waitakere and the event, which runs from 10am-4pm each day, will be the largest of its kind in the region.

The variety and quality of the artists represent a wide cross-section of styles and mediums and is a testament to the creativity that exists in the city.
