Seagrass Gallery is new to Ōtaki Beach and is presenting its first exhibition in partnership with Mahara Gallery.
This exhibition features 17 Kāpiti artists, many of whom are established practitioners, who have been working on the coast as well as nationally for years.
MAHARA has been the district public gallery for Kāpiti for 25 years. It is currently under reconstruction in Waikanae town centre. Its estimated date for re-opening is the middle of 2023. The artists in this show and Seagrass Gallery are kindly donating one third of the proceeds from their sales to help fundraising for the gallery redevelopment.
Ōtaki Beach resident Grant Stevenson, who has established Seagrass Gallery, is also learning to be a painter. Seagrass will feature his work in the first two weekends of November in the Kāpiti Coast Art Trail 2022.
