Come and purchase
your Christmas presents and spend a fun day with us, whilst
supporting artists with intellectual Alpha Gallery is the
gateway to Alpha Art Studio – a community studio space for
adults with intellectual disability to
come and create
and also to learn valuable life skills. We do it all from
cooking, IT classes, Soccer to printmaking, jewellery and
painting. We also volunteer in the local community with
organizations such as city mission, wellington time bank and
meals on wheels.
Based in central wellington the studio opened a Gallery in July 2013. This group show “Hearts and Crafts” will see loads of cheap art and craft for sale made by the artists of Alpha Art Studio, staff and some friends!
We will have our entire premises open from 10am-2pm on Saturday Decemeber 13th for an open day. This is an opportunity for the public to come and see what we do at our unique space. There will be entertainment, games, a Koha present wrapping station (for outside purchases too), face painting and a collaborative canvas too – all welcome, very family friendly.
Artist Denise Dennehy has this to say about exhibiting “I love it! It helps me to make sweet money, honey! It’s really good fun”.
This open day is also an opportunity to show all we have to offer the wider community:
- We have wellington’s first fully accessible toilet with hoist and change bed available to use to the public.
- A professional gallery available to hire in 2015 for artists outside of our service.
- Various rooms available to hire for your next meeting or event.
