Celebrate the magic of Matariki with a hands-on creative experience at the Greytown Art Gallery.
You are invited to paint your own wooden star, choosing colours and patterns that reflect one of the Matariki stars or your own hopes and wishes for the year ahead. This activity is offered for a koha, welcoming everyone to take part in the spirit of generosity and community. Once complete, each star becomes part of a growing outdoor art installation, carefully placed in a special Matariki display in front of the gallery.
Together, these stars form a vibrant, community-created artwork that honours connection, remembrance, and new beginnings. Fun and full of wonder for all ages!
