Guardian Birds of the Coromandel with Iona Matheson
Coromandel Town is a very special place in our lovely region. Local artists and their incredible work keep the energy vibrant and refreshing.

The 19th annual Coromandel Open Studios Arts Tour has wrapped up; over two weekends, the Coromandel came alive with creativity, connection and colour as artists opened their doors and welcomed visitors from near and far.

Earlier this year, Caitlin Moloney and I were fortunate to spend time at the Tiapapata Art Centre in Samoa for an artist residency.

Imagine this: morning light filtering through the trees near Parakiwai, where Jazz Gilsenan-Fitzgerald’s workshop hums with the sound of planes smoothing wood.

We are delighted to be partners for the Coromandel Open Studios Arts Tour, a wonderful annual event that celebrates the vibrant artistic community in and around Coromandel Town.
For many years, the Coromandel Town area has had a reputation as a notable centre for arts and crafts in New Zealand. Talented artists are often drawn here from other areas not just for the beautiful views but also the lively art community. Every year since 2006, many of these artists have been opening up their studios on the first two weekends of October, for the Coromandel Open Studios Arts Tour.
