Many homes in Coromandel Town and the surrounding area have a Tony Calsaferri on their wall. After 24 years of painting, Tony’s work has found its place, with him completing 100 paintings annually.

This January, the Whitianga Summer Art holiday programme offers two weeks of creativity, fun, and hands-on projects. Whether your child joins for a single day or several, each class promises a memorable experience and artwork to proudly take home.

A leap across ‘the ditch’ in 1991 catapulted New Zealander Elizabeth Kyle into an unexpected life as a highly regarded Visionary Surrealist / Mystical Symbolist artist and gallery owner in Australia. Elizabeth’s journey began in Katikati where she showed early signs of artistic flair. Her forward-thinking parents allowed her to study at Tauranga Girls’ College under the tutelage of the legendary Claudia Jarman.
