Whitianga will host a vibrant new pop-up gallery and music hub this summer, offering a curated creative space for the local community and visitors.

Coromind ArtWorks Fest, located at 14 Coghill Street โ€“ Whitianga, will run from 30th November to 2nd February, showcasing five collaborative art exhibitions alongside live music, food, drinks and plenty of creative energy.

โ€œWeโ€™ve built strong connections with local artists over the years,โ€ says Leo Magri, one of the organisers and part of the Coromind team. โ€œThis space is about celebrating those relationships and creating a safe, welcoming environment for artists to exhibit and sell their work while connecting with locals and visitors.โ€

Beyond the exhibitions, Coromind ArtWorks Fest promises a hands-on experience. The gallery will open daily from 10 am, offering workshops, live art demonstrations and opportunities to meet the artists as they create on-site. 

โ€œWith Coromind, weโ€™ve always connected with people of all ages and we wanted this space to reflect that. Itโ€™s family-friendly, interactive and free for everyone to enjoy!โ€ adds Magri.
